R32C, HEW

embOS for RENESAS R32C was developed for and with RENESAS HEW compiler and supports all data memory models offered by this compiler.
embOS for R32C comes with an easy to use start project for an R32C CPU which may be used with the HEW.
Software development and debugging with E8a emulator as well as using the simulator is supported.

Tool chain used for build

The following tools have been used:

Compiler: RENESAS nc100 V1.01 Release 00
Assembler: RENESAS as100 V1.01.00
Librarian: RENESAS lb100 V1.00.01.000
Workbench: RENESAS HEW 4.04.01.001

Performance

  1. Task switch time
    Near memory model: tbd
  2. Interrupt latency, low priority interrupt
    Near memory model: tbd
  3. Interrupt latency, high priority (zero latency) interrupt
    Near memory model: tbd

Absolute timings are based on an R32C running at 48 MHz and release build library

New features

Version 3.62c

  1. Support for RSK32C111 evalboard
    embOS comes with a new sample start project for the RSK32C111 eval board which is setup to be used with the E8a emulator.
  2. Initial version of embOS R32C for HEW
    Version 3.62c is the initial version of embOS for R32C and HEW, based on generic embOS sources V3.62c.

Improvements

Version 3.62c

  1. None.
    Initial version based on embOS sources version 3.62c

Program corrections

Version 3.62c

  1. None.
    Initial version based on embOS sources version 3.62c.

Known problems / restrictions

Version 3.62c

    Current trial version of embOS for R32C does not support the near code model.
