User Manual
This user's manual describes the internal structure, the functionality and software
interface (API) of the Renesas V850 Flash Self-Programming Library (FSL) type
T06. The library type T06 is suitable for all Renesas V850 Flash based on the
RC03F Flash technology.
Do not use this library for devices based on other Flash technologies than RC03F,
as this might lead to unwanted behaviour or demolition of the device.
The device features differ depending on the used Flash implementation and
basic technology node. Therefore, pre-compile and run-time configuration options
allow adaptation of the library to the device features and to the application needs.
The libraries are delivered in source code. However it has to be considered
carefully to do any changes, as not intended behaviour and programming faults
might be the result.
The development environments of the companies Green Hills (GHS), IAR and
Renesas are supported. Due to the different compiler and assembler features,
especially the assembler files differ between the environments. So, the library
and application programs are distributed using an installer tool allowing selecting
the appropriate environment.
For support of other development environments, additional development effort
may be necessary. Especially, but maybe not only, the calling conventions to the
assembler code and compiler dependent section defines differ significantly.
The libraries are delivered together with device dependent application programs,
showing the implementation of the libraries and the usage of the library functions.
The different options of setup and usage of the libraries are explained in detail in
this document.
Please read all chapters of the application note carefully.
Much attention has been put to proper conditions and limitations description.
Anyhow, it can never be ensured completely that all not allowed concepts of
library implementation into the user application are explicitly forbidden. So,
please follow exactly the given sequences and recommendations in this
document in order to make full use of the libraries functionality and features and
in order to avoid any possible problems caused by libraries misuse.

manual and other device dependent information can be downloaded from the
