Section 1 Overview
The High-performance Embedded Workshop is a Graphical User Interface intended to ease the
development and debugging of applications written in C/C++ programming language and
assembly language for Renesas microcomputers. Its aim is to provide a powerful yet intuitive way
of accessing, observing and modifying the debugging platform in which the application is running.
The E8 emulator (hereafter referred to as the emulator) is a software and hardware development
support tool for application systems using the Renesas microcomputer. For applicable MCUs,
refer to the web site.
The main unit of the emulator is connected through the dedicated debugging interface to the user
system. The user system can be debugged under the conditions similar to the actual application
conditions. The emulator enables debugging anywhere indoors or out. The host computer for
controlling the emulator must be an IBM PC compatible machine with USB.
This manual describes the contents that comply with versions of the High-performance Embedded
Workshop 4.0 or later.
Figure 1.1 shows the system configuration using the emulator.
