General Precautions in the Handling of Microprocessing Unit and Microcontroller Unit Products
The following usage notes are applicable to all Microprocessing unit and Microcontroller unit products from Renesas. For detailed usage notes on the products covered by this document, refer to the relevant sections of the document as well as any technical updates that have been issued for the products.
1. Precaution against Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) A strong electrical field, when exposed to a CMOS device, can cause destruction of the gate oxide and ultimately degrade the device operation. Steps must be taken to stop the generation of static electricity as much as possible, and quickly dissipate it when it occurs. Environmental control must be adequate. When it is dry, a humidifier should be used. This is recommended to avoid using insulators that can easily build up static electricity. Semiconductor devices must be stored and transported in an anti-static container, static shielding bag or conductive material. All test and measurement tools including work benches and floors must be grounded. The operator must also be grounded using a wrist strap. Semiconductor devices must not be touched with bare hands. Similar precautions must be taken for printed circuit boards with mounted semiconductor devices.
2. Processing at power-on The state of the product is undefined at the time when power is supplied. The states of internal circuits in the LSI are indeterminate and the states of register settings and pins are undefined at the time when power is supplied. In a finished product where the reset signal is applied to the external reset pin, the states of pins are not guaranteed from the time when power is supplied until the reset process is completed. In a similar way, the states of pins in a product that is reset by an on-chip power-on reset function are not guaranteed from the time when power is supplied until the power reaches the level at which resetting is specified.
3. Input of signal during power-off state Do not input signals or an I/O pull-up power supply while the device is powered off. The current injection that results from input of such a signal or I/O pull-up power supply may cause malfunction and the abnormal current that passes in the device at this time may cause degradation of internal elements. Follow the guideline for input signal during power-off state as described in your product documentation.
4. Handling of unused pins Handle unused pins in accordance with the directions given under handling of unused pins in the manual. The input pins of CMOS products are generally in the high-impedance state. In operation with an unused pin in the open-circuit state, extra electromagnetic noise is induced in the vicinity of the LSI, an associated shoot-through current flows internally, and malfunctions occur due to the false recognition of the pin state as an input signal become possible.
5. Clock signals After applying a reset, only release the reset line after the operating clock signal becomes stable. When switching the clock signal during program execution, wait until the target clock signal is stabilized. When the clock signal is generated with an external resonator or from an external oscillator during a reset, ensure that the reset line is only released after full stabilization of the clock signal. Additionally, when switching to a clock signal produced with an external resonator or by an external oscillator while program execution is in progress, wait until the target clock signal is stable.
6. Voltage application waveform at input pin Waveform distortion due to input noise or a reflected wave may cause malfunction. If the input of the CMOS device stays in the area between VIL (Max.) and VIH (Min.) due to noise, for example, the device may malfunction. Take care to prevent chattering noise from entering the device when the input level is fixed, and also in the transition period when the input level passes through the area between VIL (Max.) and VIH (Min.).
7. Prohibition of access to reserved addresses Access to reserved addresses is prohibited. The reserved addresses are provided for possible future expansion of functions. Do not access these addresses as the correct operation of the LSI is not guaranteed.
8. Differences between products Before changing from one product to another, for example to a product with a different part number, confirm that the change will not lead to problems. The characteristics of a microprocessing unit or microcontroller unit products in the same group but having a different part number might differ in terms of internal memory capacity, layout pattern, and other factors, which can affect the ranges of electrical characteristics, such as characteristic values, operating margins, immunity to noise, and amount of radiated noise. When changing to a product with a different part number, implement a systemevaluation test for the given product.

Remark: Whether or not there is an authentication code function depends on the target MCU.
Figure 2-5 [Authentication] Dialog Box
· Authentication Code Enter the authentication code in hexadecimal notation (0 to 9 and A to F).
· Auto Authentication
When this checkbox is selected, the authentication code is saved in the project file and authentication automatically proceeds from the next time the project is opened.
Caution -
-
If the value of the input field takes up fewer than the number of effective bytes, the RFP automatically pads the input data with 0xFF after the input value.
When an RX-family device is connected via the RFP, input the value in the order ID1, ID2, ..., ID16. However, for a device with control code, enter the value of the code as the first of the effective bytes.
Example:
When the number of effective bytes = 16, control code = 0x45, ID code = ID1=0x01, ID2=0x02, ID3=0x03, ID4=0x04, ID5=0x05, ID6=0x06, ID7=0x07, ID8=0x08, ID9=0x09, ID10=0x0A, ID11=0x0B, ID12=0x0C, ID13=0x0D, ID14=0x0E, and ID15=0x0F, the value will be `450102030405060708090A0B0C0D0E0F'.
When RX72x, RX71x, RX66x, RX65x, or RX64x device is connected via a debug tool which has been specified with the CS+ or e2 studio, the order for input of the authentication code changes to that shown below. ID4 ID3 ID2 ID1 ID8 ID7 ID6 ID5 ID12 ID11 ID10 ID9 ID16 ID15 ID14 ID13
When an RA-family, Renesas Synergy-family, or RE-family device is connected to the RFP, input values to be specified for registers of the target MCU in order of bits 127 to 0 in byte units. Since the input specification may also differ with the tool, confirm the input specification of the tool you will be using.
Remark: The default authentication code in some target MCUs at the time of shipment is all FFs. For details, refer to the user's manual of the target MCU.

(4) Program & Verify Option Set options here when you have selected "Program" or "Verify" for "Command".
· Erase Before Program The range where data are to be programmed is erased beforehand if this option is selected.
Caution: The range to be erased depends on the minimum unit of erasing by the MCU.
· Verification type
Select the type of verification as one of the following items. Depending on the target MCU, only one type may be available.
Verify by reading the device Data are acquired with a read command from the MCU and the RFP handles comparison. Comparison cannot proceed if the MCU is in a state such that reading is prohibited.
Verify in the device Data are re-sent to the MCU in response to the verify command and the MCU side handles comparison. Depending on the specifications of the verify command, the range for comparison may extend beyond the programmed data, and this may lead to an error in verification if "Fill with 0xFF" was not selected.
· Skip ID Code Verify In general, do not select the checkbox when this feature is displayed as an option. However, use this feature in cases of the following type. The security settings of the MCU may make reading of the ID code impossible since the ID code in the MCU is protected. This may lead to an error may occur in verification processing. To avoid errors of this type, select this checkbox to use the feature. For details, refer to section 5.8, Verification after Protecting the MCU.

· Allow the overwriting of data When embedding a unique code for a loaded program file, this button is used to allow or prohibit the overwriting of data if the area where the code is to be embedded already contains data (contention). Put a checkmark in the box to allow this and remove the checkmark to prohibit it.
[Remark] If the checkmark is removed, an error message is displayed and the process is cancelled, in cases of contention with existing data during embedding of the unique code.
2.3.6.1 Unique Code Files
This section describes unique code files.
(1) Filename Extension
*.ruc
(2) File Format
A unique code file is a text file. A file consists of a header and a code part. Write a list of the combinations of indices and unique codes after the header, which defines the location where the unique code is to be embedded. The only supported formats for the codes are ASCII (one byte) character codes. Unicode is not supported.
· Comment line Line starting with "//" are considered as comments and ignored in processing. Lines consisting only of blanks are also ignored.
· Separating characters Tabs, spaces, or commas can be used as separating characters in the header definitions and the settings of the indices and unique codes.
· Header part The header part has the following definitions that are case-insensitive.

Specify the format of the unique codes.
<hex>: Hexadecimal numerals
<ascii>: ASCII characters (0x20 to 0x7e)
Specifying the address
address <address>
Specify the address where the unique code is to start as a hexadecimal number preceded by "0" or "H".
Specifying the size
size <size>
Specify the size of each unique code.
<size>: Specify a size in bytes (range: 1 to 2048)
Remark: An area specification (area) was necessary for the earlier versions. It is now ignored even if there is a statement in the file.
· Codes
The list of unique codes consists of indices and codes, with only one code and index per line. Indices need not be prefixed by padding with"0" as in the example. They are assumed to be base-10 ordinal numbers in ascending order.

Indices and unique codes
Unique code definition Description
index data Declares that unique codes follow from the next line. This is case-insensitive. <index> <unique code> Each line specifies an index and a unique code. <index>: Specifies an index (integer in the range 0 to 2147483647) <unique code>: Specifies a unique code (big endian format, with the format and size specified in the header)
If the format is ascii
<unique code> A unique code can be enclosed in double quotation marks. If the code includes a space at its beginning or end, the quotation marks are required to distinguish such spaces from separating characters. If the code itself includes consecutive double quotation marks, they are handled as one double quotation mark.
· Limit on size The size of a unique code file should be no greater than 2 GB.

Message Description
Message Description
A verification error occurred in the device. (Response XX:XX)
· Different data might have been written to the program file and the target MCU.
· There might have been a failure in verification due to a defect in the flash memory.
A write error occurred in the device. (Response XX:XX)
This error will occur in the following cases.
· An attempt might have been made to overwrite an area already containing data with different data.
· There might have been a failure in programming due to a defect in the flash memory.
An erasure error occurred in the device. (Response XX:XX)
This error code and message are displayed when erasure of data in the flash memory of the MCU was attempted but failed. Possible causes of the error (failure to erase) include: (1) The power-supply voltage for the MCU not being correct. (2) The MCU being unable to operate properly because of the pin settings. (3) The MCU having been damaged for some reason. (4) Communication between the MCU and the PC having failed*, so the command was not executed. Check the items (1) through (4) above. *Good communications may not be possible if you are using a USB-to-serial converter, a self-made cable, a self-made extension cable, or the like for connection with a tool.

5. Points for Caution
5. Points for Caution
This chapter describes points for caution regarding the RFP.
5.1 Manipulating the User Boot Mat
Applies to: RX610
If a valid ID code has not been set before the MCU is connected (i.e. the device is not protected), manipulation of the user boot mat is not possible on completion of the connection. To enable manipulation of the user boot mat, set a valid ID code before connecting the MCU.
5.2 Host PC
Applies to: All MCUs
Some tools (the E1, E20, E2, E2 Lite, serial interface, and USB interface) may not work with the host PC you are using. Check the connection between the tool and the host PC. If the tool still does not work, you may need to use a different host PC.
5.3 USB-to-Serial Converter
Applies to: All MCUs
We do not recommend the use of a USB-to-serial converter because it may cause delays in timing and data being lost due to the specifications of the converter. Check the operation of the USB-to-serial converter you are using. If timing is delayed or data are being lost, you may consider using a different USB-to-serial converter.
5.4 Check before Connection
Applies to: All MCUs
Connection of the target MCU in the cases listed below may damage the tool in use or the target system due to conflicts between signals. Be sure to check that the settings and circuit connection are correct.
· The type of the target MCU to be connected was mistaken. · The wrong recommended circuit was used for the target MCU or the circuit being used was in error. · The output setting of an I/O port pin was wrong while the setting is for manual entry to boot mode. · The power-supply setting of the tool was wrong.
5.5 Erase Chip of the RH850 Family
Applies to: RH850
When a chip is erased, the configuration data are cleared after all other data have been erased. In other words, the option settings of the MCU are all erased. Since all settings, including the settings at the time of shipment, are erased at this time, be sure to make the required settings at the same time.
In addition, processing to clear the configuration data is prohibited in some MCUs. When you wish to erase a chip, refer to the user's manual of the target MCU in use and determine whether or not processing to clear the configuration data can be used.

5. Points for Caution
5.6 Connecting through a COM Port or USB Direct
Applies to: RX, RH850, Renesas SynergyTM, RA, RE
When the connection is through a COM port or USB Direct, the RFP does not control the reset pin of the MCU. Reset the MCU in advance when connecting with a target MCU.
5.7 Auto-padding with 0xFF
Applies to: All MCUs
When an amount of data is less than the minimum unit for writing to a flash memory, the data are always padded with 0xFF before writing especially when writing to the configuration setting area.
5.8 Verification after Protecting the MCU
Applies to: RH850, RX72T, RX71x, RX66x, RX64x
Setting the following protection functions of the MCU restricts the verification function.
· ID code protection
Proceeding with verification ("Verify by reading the device") without issuing a reset after the ID code protection bit has been set (written) will cause a protection error. To avoid this type of error, be sure to reset the MCU after setting (writing to) the ID code protection bit. The RFP enters the ID authentication mode and verification is enabled.
· Read command protect (Reading prohibited)
After the read command protection bit has been set, the ID code written to the MCU cannot be verified. However, the setting of the read command protection bit becomes effective immediately after a new setting has been written.
5.9 MCUs Supporting a Dual-Bank Structure
Applies to: RX
For MCUs that support a dual-bank structure, the RFP recognizes MCUs in the dual and linear modes as different MCUs. Thus, when the bank mode of an MCU has been changed, the error "E3000107 This device does not match the connection parameters." will occur. In the RFP, newly create and change projects if you change the bank mode.
The bank mode for the MCU is changed by the following actions.
· Resetting the MCU after a setting for bank mode which differs from the current setting has been written to the Bank Mode Select bit
· Resetting the MCU after selecting [Erase Chip] to erase a chip that is currently in dual mode
[How to switch a chip from the linear mode to the dual mode]
The following describes the steps in switching a chip from the linear mode to the dual mode.
· 1. Connect the MCU in the linear mode and create a new project for the linear mode. · 2. Select the erasure option as [Erase Chip] to erase the chip. · 3. Program the option-setting memory with a file that specifies the dual mode. · 4. Reset the MCU.
