CC-RL and CC-RX projects created in the e² studio can be converted into CS+ projects by using the export function of the e² studio to output them as Renesas common project files (*.rcpc).

Procedures (Go to Step 3 if the *.rcpc file has been generated in the project folder.)

  1. Select a project in the e² studio, right-click to produce the pop-up menu, and select [Export…].
