Overview

Monitor Program for M32C/80, M16C/80 and M16C/60 Series. After the Monitor Program is written to the MCU and the Monitor Program communicates with the Debugger, the user program can be debugged.

  • Use RS-232C for communication between the Debugger and the Monitor Program.
  • When debugging with the Debugger, write the Monitor Program to the MCU using a flash programmer (ex. M16C Flash Starter).

Debugging Communication Port

The serial port of MCU is used for communication between the monitor program and debugger.
The serial port used by the monitor program is shown below.

MCU Channel RxD (Reception) TxD (Transmission)*
M16C/62A, 62M 1 P6_6/RxD1 P6_7/TxD1 * Please connect a pull-up resistor (approx. 5kΩ) to the TxD pin.
M16C/80 1 P6_6/RxD1 P6_7/TxD1
M32C/83 1 P6_6/RxD1 P6_7/TxD1

The monitor program offered by Renesas uses the same serial port as the flash programmer supporting Renesas Standard Serial I/O Mode 2 (serial programming mode). Therefore, if the circuit for reference use of the flash programmer which supports Standard Serial I/O Mode 2 is used, you can easily create the environment from writing the monitor program to MCU to debugging.
Renesas provides M16C Flash Starter as a flash programmer supporting Standard Serial I/O Mode 2.
