HEW Target Server

HEW Target Server (HTS for short) is a COM Object for Windows that exposes a wealth of communication and automation functions for the Renesas integrated development environment, HEW. By using HTS, you gain control of HEW, its debug interface, and the target MCU/MPU. With HEW Target Server, you can create helper applications, test benches and virtual control panels; automate processes and programming; communicate with target MCUs/MPUs; and do much more – the possibilities are endless!

Importantly, HTS grants a new level of interactivity with your design without expensive code or overhead. HEW Target Server can be used with any application that takes advantage of Windows COM technology. HTS exposes a large API of intimate functions for controlling HEW and communicating with any MCU or MPU connected through the debug link. These functions include:

• Start and stop HEW
• Manipulate workspaces, sessions, projects and configurations
• Add and delete project files, get file names, open files
• Build, rebuild, update dependencies, and set compiler options
• Retrieve status and error messages from HEW and the target MCU/MPU
• Download or unload modules to target MCU/MPU
• Perform symbol watches, translations, and lookups
• Debug functions such as code coverage, tracing, and breakpoints
• Implement full CPU control (Reset, Start, Stop, Step, Step Over, etc.)
• Set and monitor interrupt conditions
• Perform read and write memory access, including all registers
