The Renesas Flash Programmer (RFP) enables the automated control of programming by using command

lines.

There are two types of command line control of the RFP.

• Use of project files from a simple command line (for Windows)

For details on the RFP, refer to the user’s manual.

https://www.renesas.com/rfp

2. Procedure before Using Project Files from the Simple Command Line

This chapter helps you to understand the sequence of the basic procedures to follow before setting up

processing that uses project files of the RFP from the simple command line, taking the RL78/G14 as an

example of the target MCU.

• The descriptions in this chapter apply under the following conditions.

Target MCU: R5F104LE (RL78/G14)

Tool: E2 emulator Lite

Connection: 1-wire UART (single-wire UART)

• This chapter describes the following procedures. If you already understand the items up to step 4, Setting

a project, start with reference to step 5, Creating a batch file.

1. Connecting a system

2. Connecting a target system

3. Creating a project file

4. Setting a project

5. Creating a batch file

6. Executing the batch file

Start the RFP GUI to open the main window.

Select [New Project] from the [File] menu to open the [Create New Project] dialog box.

Select “RL78” for [Microcontroller], enter “sample” for [Project Name], specify “C:\rfp” for [Project Folder], and
