Migrating from V2 to V3 of the Renesas Flash Programmer
V3 of the Renesas Flash Programmer is easier to use and provides faster programming than V2.
We recommend using V3 of the Renesas Flash Programmer for programming RH850, RX, or RL78 devices.
If you have a license for V2, you can upgrade it to V3 free of charge.
A license for V3 is also valid for V2
If you have a license for Renesas Flash Programmer V3, you can also use V2.
Providing the Renesas Flash Programmer without a physical medium
With the intention of producing more environmentally friendly products, we no longer provide the Renesas Flash Programmer on a CD-ROM as the medium following the release of V3.09.00 in October 2021. We also ended the provision of a license file that had been included on each CD-ROM. Accordingly, the Renesas Flash Programmer no longer has the feature for registration by loading a license file.
Although V3.09.00 and later versions of the Renesas Flash Programmer do not include license files, you can still get technical support as before by entering the PID number indicated in the license certificate that comes with the product.
