CHAPTER 1 OVERVIEW
The FP5 is a tool that erases, writes and verifies programs on a Renesas Electronics on-chip flash memory
microcontroller on the target system or program adapter.
1.1 Features
• Compatible with remote operation for FP5 from an external control device
• Compatible with communications commands operated by the FP5 command through RS-232C
• The customization and security settings of the FP5 unit can be changed with the FP5 Manager function
• Supports on-chip 2-power-supply flash memory microcontrollers and single-power-supply on-chip flash memory
microcontrollers
• Supports flash memory programming through the programming GUI using the host machine (programming GUI
operation) and operation in standalone (standalone operation)
• Supports on-board programming through which programs are written with the target device mounted on the target
system, and off-board programming through which programs are written via a program adapter without the target
device mounted on the target system
• Program files can be saved in the 16 MB flash memory in the FP5 (divided by 4, in 4 MB units or divided by 8, in 2
MB units)
• Device-specific parameters required for programming can be saved in the FP5 internal flash memory by using the
parameter file (PR5 file), together with programming settings (ESF file).
• Multiple program files, PR5 files and ESF files can be saved
• Supports CSI, CSI + HS, UART, I
2
C and PORT as target device interfaces
• Can supply V
DD and clocks to the target device
• Supports USB interface and serial interface (RS-232C) as a host interface
• Supports self-testing function
• Can update firmware and FPGA
• Compact and lightweight
1.2 Writing Quality
Thoroughly confirm, verify and evaluate the following points before using the FP5, in order to improve the writing quality.
• Design circuits as described in the user’s manual for the target device and the FP5.
• Use the device and the FP5 as described in the user’s manual for each product.
• The power supplied to the target device is stable.
1.3 Supported Devices
The FP5 supports on-chip 2-power-supply flash memory microcontrollers and on-chip single-power-supply flash
memory microcontrollers.
FP5 parameter files (PR5 files) corresponding to the supported devices are posted on the following website.
