What is HewTargetServer?

A brief description of HewTargetServer and the example projects provided.

Description

HEW Target Server provides an interface between Microsoft Visual Studio and HEW (the Renesas IDE). Using this interface a programmer can control HEW or a target platform through the standard Renesas debugger interfaces.

Ok, so what does this allow? Basically, with just a little programming you can provide a Windows interface to your board (design) or to the HEW IDE.

So, what could you do with this interface? Well, we have provided example applications for the following:

A virtual control panel:

All of the controls, LEDs, LCD, gauges, etc... that are on your board could be seen in a Windows display. Before you even build the controls.

MicroTerminal:

Do you want a "HyperTerminal" like output from your project but do not want the hardware? This application allows you to send messages to your board and receive messages from your board. (You use the debug interface so you do not have to add RS232, RS485, or some other

interface onto your board.)

Simple Example:

This is a VERY simple example that shows you how to setup HEW Target Server your first time! (This example will work with any target.)

Advanced Example:

This example shows you the vast capabilities of this tool. (Will work with any target.) HEW Target Server appears as a DLL that you add to your Visual Studio project. By adding this DLL you gain over 70 functions to interface to HEW or your target!

Have fun.
