MSC presents an Eclipse-based platform, the e2studio, from Renesas Electronics at embedded world 2012. The e2studio is a new Eclipse C/C++ Development Toolkit based development platform for Renesas’ RL78, RX and V850 families of microcontrollers. e2studio is equipped with build phase plug-ins for compiler toolchains from Renesas, IAR, Green Hills Software and the free-of-charge KPIT Cummins GNU compilers. Alternatively, a complete open-source solution based on Eclipse can be used. Besides plug-in support for the various compilers, the Eclipse development environment also provides for each version a corresponding project management, version control and other useful productivity tools.
Debug support includes Renesas’ E1 & E20 on-chip debuggers, Renesas’ IECUBE full specification emulators and Segger J-Link debugger. The implemented GDB interface enables powerful debugging functions such as real time memory update and trace. e2studio is available either bundled with Renesas toolchains or as a free-of-charge download from its website.
