19.2 Writing to Flash Memory by Using External Device (that
Incorporates UART)
On-board data writing to the internal flash memory is possible by using the RL78 microcontroller and an external device
(a microcontroller or ASIC) connected to a UART.
On the development of flash memory programmer by user, refer to the RL78 Microcontrollers (RL78 Protocol B) Serial
Programming Edition Application Note (R01AN6332).
19.2.1 Programming environment
The environment required for writing a program to the flash memory of the RL78 microcontroller is illustrated below.

Processing to write data to or erase data from the RL78 microcontroller by using an external device is performed on-
board. Off-board writing is not possible.
