Preparation of build (compilation) environment (Windows)

MSYS2 setup
gcc related installation
Install boost
Since boost uses 1.74.0, please download it in advance (place it in D:\Download). (boost_1_74_0.tar.gz)
Extract to the root of the C drive

cd /c/
tar xfvz /d/Download/boost_1_74_0.tar.gz

See development environment preparation of 'RX/README.md'

Build method, environment setting

make
Copy configuration file and executable file by make install
pass the path to / usr / local / bin

Connection preparation (serial connection)

Connect the VSS pin of the microcontroller to the GND of USB serial.
Connect the RXD1 pin on the microcontroller side with the USB serial TXD.
Connect the TXD1 pin on the microcontroller side with the USB serial RXD. ※SCI port at boot (usually SCI1, hardware manual for confirmation)
Pull down if the device has a UB terminal. (4.7K)
Pull down if there is an EMLE terminal. (4.7K)
Set the MD terminal to "Low" and input the "Reset" signal.
When executing an internal program, set the MD pin to "High level" and input reset signal.
MDE(13) is 0 (assumed little-endian)

rx_prog.conf settings

Describe the settings of each device, port, baud rate, and so on.
You can specify the serial device port path individually so that settings can be shared between platforms.
Set the port name, baud rate, etc. according to your environment.
For the RX62x, the error is limited to 115200 for high baud rates.

rx_prog.conf configuration example

# Standard serial port, platform dependent port name
# port_win, port_osx and port_linux are recognized by platform and take precedence over port.
#port = /dev/ttyS10
#port = COM12
port_win   = COM3
port_osx   = /dev/tty.usbserial-DA00X2QP
port_linux = /dev/ttyUSB0

# Standard serial speed, platform dependent speed
# speed_win, speed_osx and speed_linux are recognized by platform and take precedence over speed.
# ※The maximum speed that can be set varies depending on the platform.
#speed = 230400
speed_win = 230400
speed_osx = 230400
speed_linux = 230400

# erase-page command wait [uS]
erase_page_wait = 2000
# write-page command wait [uS]
write_page_wait = 5000

rx_prog.conf is scanned and loaded in the following order:

Current directory
Command directory (usually /usr/local/bin)
The RX621/RX62N internally limits the serial speed to 115200 due to high baud rate errors.
For devices such as RX621/RX62N and RX63T, external connection crystal frequency and multiplier settings are required when connecting.
The RX63T internally limits the serial speed to 115200 due to high baud rate errors.
This is done in the configuration file as shown below.
If there are multiple settings with the same group name, the first setting found in the group will take effect.

R5F56217 {
	group = "RX621"
	clock = 1200
	divide_sys = 8
	divide_ext = 4

...

}

Current Implementation Dependency

The current implementation does not implement a mechanism for device information profiles defined in rx_prog.conf to be referenced or evaluated during flash programming.
This is for future extension.
Information required for connection, such as "clock, divide_sys, divide_ext", is based on the profile of the first matched group device.
Originally, the device profile obtained at the time of connection, in line with the device TYP, should be used, but this has not been implemented.
This is because the TYP and device profile documents are not publicly available.
Note that there are devices in the same group with different hardware specifications, and even if different definitions are made in rx_prog.conf, they will not be reflected.
Rewriting of OFS option setting memory is not supported.

Delete unnecessary serial port (Windows)

start devmgmt.msc

Remove all USB serial devices from your computer.
Create a BAT file as above, right click and execute with "administrator privileges".
Check "Display"-"Display Hidden Device".
Delete unused COM ports.
Once again, connect USB serial devices to the computer in order.

※In the case of the same maker device, since the change of COM port number etc. occur after the second one, it is necessary to take measures such as changing the internal serial ID number with a maker's dedicated tool depending on the situation. ※Please check with the device manufacturer's HP regarding the use of dedicated tools.
