Renesas RX Microcontroller

Japanese

Overview

This is a program by Renesas RX microcontroller and its compiler rx-elf-gcc, g++.
I am currently using Renesas GNU-RX gcc 8.3.0 as my main development tool.
GNU-RX supports RXv3 and DFPU, and has excellent optimization.

Currently, a dedicated writing program has been implemented that has been tested on Windows, OS-X, and Linux.
Development is now possible in multiple environments.

Currently supported and tested devices:

• The directory structure is updated daily.
• Some features are still under construction.
• The project consists of a Makefile and related headers and source code, and includes dedicated startup routines and linker scripts.

Please make a request if you want us to support other RX devices. (Conditions below)

• Become a support member of hirakuni45 GitHub.

Device control classes with template design patterns provide flexible and concise functionality.
Due to its functionality, it does not require difficult or complicated settings or code generation by separate programs.

// LED flashing program
#include "common/renesas.hpp"

namespace {
//  typedef device::PORT<device::PORT0, device::bitpos::B7> LED;  // LED connection port, Active HIGH
    typedef device::PORT<device::PORT0, device::bitpos::B7, false> LED;  // LED connection port, Active LOW
}

int main(int argc, char** argv);

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
    SYSTEM_IO::boost_master_clock();

    LED::OUTPUT();
    while(1) {
        utils::delay::milli_second(250);
        LED::P = 1;
        utils::delay::milli_second(250);
        LED::P = 0;
    }
}

In order to complete the process from dependency rule generation to compilation and linking, usually with a single "make" command, I do not need it.
No need for a dedicated boot program or loader I can write and execute.
For development, we recommend using "Visual Studio Code" that can be used on multiple platforms.

Installation and Feature Overview of Renesas GNU-RX (14.2.0-202607)

Open Source Tools for Renesas provides GNU tools for RX microcontrollers.

The latest (as of July 2026) GNU toolchain for RX microcontrollers—

• gcc 14.2.0 [released]
• binutils 2.44 [released]
• newlib 4.4.0 [released]
• gdb 16.2 [released]

A toolchain for RX microcontrollers based on these components is available for download.

Anyone can download these tools by registering, and there are no size limits. Additionally, it appears they provide optimization for RX microcontrollers and support for the latest CPU cores.

When installing, we recommend selecting “Available to all users”

• Since gcc is based on version 14.2.0, it supports C++17
• It offers deeper optimization than standard gcc and supports the latest CPU cores
• All projects using the C++ frameworks published here can be compiled
• Experimental support for C++20 and C++26 features has been added
• Support is also provided by CyberTHOR Studios Limited
• To use this tool with MSYS2, after installing the toolchain, please set the command path in .bash_profile
• When compiling open-source libraries, there is an issue where the path string may contain “spaces” or double-byte characters
• To work around this issue, it is recommended to copy the directory to “/usr/local” and use that path
• Based on gcc-14, the installation directory has changed (when installed for use by all users)

# rx-elf path
# PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/rx-elf/bin
PATH=$PATH:/C/ProgramData/'GCC for Renesas RX 14.2.0.202607-GNURX-ELF'/rx-elf/rx-elf/bin

• RXv3 core support
• Generation of double-precision floating-point instructions for RX72N/RX72M
• Support for the built-in TFU (trigonometric function unit) in RX14T/RX26T/RX72T/RX72N/RX72M (V1/V2)

Compiler options for TFUv1 and TFUv2

Starting with the gcc-14.2.0 base, the handling of the TFU has changed

TFUv1:
  -mtfu-version=v1 -mtfu=intrinsic,mathlib

TFUv2:
  -mtfu-version=v2 -mtfu=intrinsic,mathlib

These settings are configured in common/makefile

• The built-in functions differ between TFUv1 and TFUv2, so please be careful when using TFU
• When TFU usage is specified, the built-in variable “__TFU” is set to “TFUv1: 1” or “TFUv2: 2”

The difference between CC-RX:
In terms of compiler optimization, CC-RX seems to be superior to GNU-RX in the CoreMark benchmark.
It's hard to imagine why such a big difference would occur, but if you know the internal structure of the CPU, you might be able to achieve it...

The above values are quite exciting, but when running actual applications, we do not feel such a big difference in sensory perception.

• The big difference seems to occur in the case of applications that use a lot of instructions that require a relatively large number of CPU cycles, such as multiplication and division.
• For applications that use a lot of floating point instructions, GNU-RX may be faster.

No matter how good CC-RX is, it's not worth the cost for hobbyists, and if it doesn't support C++11, it's not practical to use.
In addition, the above benchmarks are based on CoreMark, so you need to evaluate it with actual applications to know what it really is.

RX Development environment preparation (Windows、MSYS2)

• On Windows, install the MSYS2 environment in advance.
• MSYS2 has msys2, mingw32, mingw64 and 3 different environments, but gcc for RX microcontroller Because it is necessary to build of, do with msys2.

1. MSYS2 is a UNIX-based application development environment.
2. MINGW32 is an environment for i686 that the exception model of gcc is not war related to SEH because of Borland patent.
3. MINGW64 is an environment for developing Windows-based applications.

• If you have installed any software other than Microsoft's anti-virus software, please disable it.

1. The GCC build may take an unusually long time or may fail to build.

• MSYS2 upgrade

   pacman -Sy pacman
   pacman -Syu

• Open the console again. (You should see a message as you reopen the console)

   pacman -Su

• The update is done multiple times, then follow the instructions on the console.

• You need to reopen the console several times.

• Install gcc, texinfo, gmp, mpfr, mpc, diffutils, automake, zlib, tar, make, unzip, git commands etc

   pacman -S gcc
   pacman -S texinfo
   pacman -S mpc-devel
   pacman -S diffutils
   pacman -S automake
   pacman -S zlib
   pacman -S tar
   pacman -S make
   pacman -S unzip
   pacman -S zlib-devel
   pacman -S git

RX Development environment preparation (OS-X)

• In OS-X, install macports in advance.
  brew is not recommended because it has less flexibility
• Depending on the version of OS-X, you may need to install X-Code, Command Line Tools, etc. in advance
• macports upgrade

   sudo port -d self update

• As you probably know, in the early stage of OS-X, llvm starts by calling gcc.
• However, llvm can not currently build gcc cross compilers.
• So, I will install gcc on macports, I will use the 5 series version.

   sudo port install gcc5
   sudo ln -sf /opt/local/bin/gcc-mp-5  /usr/local/bin/gcc
   sudo ln -sf /opt/local/bin/g++-mp-5  /usr/local/bin/g++
   sudo ln -sf /opt/local/bin/g++-mp-5  /usr/local/bin/c++

• You may need to reboot.
• For now, please check.

   gcc --version

   gcc (MacPorts gcc5 5.4.0_0) 5.4.0
   Copyright (C) 2015 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
   This is free software; see the source for copying conditions.  There is NO
   warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

• Install texinfo, gmp, mpfr, mpc, diffutils, automake command etc

   sudo port install texinfo
   sudo port install gmp
   sudo port install mpfr
   sudo port install libmpc
   sudo port install diffutils
   sudo port install automake

RX Development environment preparation (Ubuntu)

• There are multiple Linux environments, so here we will write the case for the "Ubuntu 16.04 LTS" environment.

• Install texinfo, gmp, mpfr, mpc, diffutils, automake command etc

   sudo apt-get install texinfo
   sudo apt-get install libgmp-dev
   sudo apt-get install libmpfr-dev
   sudo apt-get install libmpc-dev
   sudo apt-get install diffutils
   sudo apt-get install automake
   sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev

RX Development environment construction

• The RX compiler (rx-elf-gcc, g++) uses "gcc-7.5.0".
• Download "binutils-2.34.tar.gz".
• Download "gcc-7.5.0.tar.gz".
• Download "newlib-2.4.0.tar.gz".
• There are multiple versions of binutils, gcc and newlib, but some combinations
  It has been found that ineligible binaries (which have subtle problems with operation) will be built.
• This bug occurs when using Renesas network stack (net_T4).
• It is not possible to identify the cause why such malfunction occurs.
• Here is a list of combinations that we have investigated.

   binutils-2.27, gcc-4.9.4, newlib-2.2.0 ---> OK
   binutils-2.27, gcc-5.5.0, newlib-2.2.0 ---> OK
   binutils-2.27, gcc-5.5.0, newlib-2.4.0 ---> OK
   binutils-2.27, gcc-6.4.0, newlib-2.4.0 ---> OK
   binutils-2.28, gcc-6.4.0, newlib-2.4.0 ---> OK
   binutils-2.30, gcc-6.4.0, newlib-2.4.0 ---> OK (old current)
   binutils-2.30, gcc-6.4.0, newlib-3.0.0 ---> NG
   binutils-2.34, gcc-7.5.0, newlib-2.4.0 ---> OK (new current)

• Using the latest gcc seems to be faster code, especially for C++.

build binutils-2.34

   cd
   tar xfvz binutils-2.34.tar.gz
   cd binutils-2.34
   mkdir rx_build
   cd rx_build
   ../configure --target=rx-elf --prefix=/usr/local/rx-elf --disable-nls
   make
   make install     OS-X,Linux: (sudo make install)

• Pass PATH to /usr/local/rx-elf/bin (edit .bash_profile and add path)

   PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/rx-elf/bin

• Open the console again.

   rx-elf-as --version

• Execute the assembler command and check if the path is valid.

Build C compiler

    cd
    tar xfvz gcc-7.5.0.tar.gz
    cd gcc-7.5.0
    mkdir rx_build
	cd rx_build
    ../configure --prefix=/usr/local/rx-elf --target=rx-elf --enable-languages=c --disable-libssp --with-newlib --disable-nls --disable-threads --disable-libgomp --disable-libmudflap --disable-libstdcxx-pch --disable-multilib --enable-lto
    make
    make install     OS-X,Linux: (sudo make install)

Build newlib

    cd
    tar xfvz newlib-2.4.0.tar.gz
	cd newlib-2.4.0
    mkdir rx_build
    cd rx_build
    ../configure --target=rx-elf --prefix=/usr/local/rx-elf
	make
    make install     OS-X: (sudo make install)

• In Linux environment, sudo command does not recognize the path of binutils set up locally. "Make install" will fail, so write the following script and execute it.

#!/bin/sh
# file: rx_install.sh

PATH=${PATH}:/usr/local/rx-elf/bin
make install

    sudo rx_install.sh

Build C++ compiler

    cd
    cd gcc-7.5.0
    cd rx_build
    ../configure --prefix=/usr/local/rx-elf --target=rx-elf --enable-languages=c,c++ --disable-libssp --with-newlib --disable-nls --disable-threads --disable-libgomp --disable-libmudflap --disable-libstdcxx-pch --disable-multilib --enable-lto --with-system-zlib
    make
    make install     OS-X,Linux: (sudo make install)

• The built compiler collection is listed in the link below. (MSYS2 only)

Get RX Framework Source Code

    git clone https://github.com/hirakuni45/RX.git

Boost installation used by RX framework

• In the past, boost was installed for mingw64 using pacman in the MSYS2 environment.
• However, as the version of boost advanced, we found that this boost caused problems.
• Therefore, we put the boost archive in the proper location and handle it.
• This method is used in the MSYS2 environment.
• Since boost uses 1.74.0, please download it in advance (place it in D:³ Download). (boost_1_74_0.tar.gz)

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

How to write program to RX microcontroller

There are several ways, but the easiest and least expensive way is to use the serial interface It is a method of writing.

• However, the writing speed is not very fast.

In case of RX microcontroller with built-in USB interface, you can boot and connect with USB, but the driver Seems to only support the Windows version.

• The circumstances around here may be wrong as we have not investigated in detail.

The most common, because not all RX microcontrollers have built-in USB interface We will show you how to write using serial interface.

• Writing at the serial interface is reasonably fast but easy and secure, and easy to connect.

• The hardware manual describes the connection with the serial port and switching to boot mode. Please refer to it.

• Normally, setting MD terminal to L or H allows switching between program and internal ROM execution.

• It is also necessary to control the state of the UB terminal.

• If you use a USB serial conversion module etc., it is easy to get power.

1. RXD serial reception
2. TXD serial transmission
3. VCC power (5V or 3.3V)
4. GND power 0V

• As 3.3V can only extract a limited current, a regulator is always required.
• Details on the connection method, boot mode settings, etc. can be found in the hardware manual for each device.

Construction of flash programmer for RX microcontroller

• Currently, flash writing to RX63T, RX24T, RX64M, and RX71M is confirmed.

• Since the reset is not controlled, it is necessary to assert the reset signal at the time of writing.

• In the current version, only erase, write and compare operations are implemented.

• Code protection ID settings and operations are not implemented yet.

• In the RX24T and RX63T, the erase operation is ignored because the erase is performed automatically when the connection is established.

• Build rxprog in MSYS2 environment.

• Copy the built executable file to "/usr/local/bin".

• Pass the PATH to /usr/local/bin.

    cd rxprog
    make
    make install

• Edit rx_prog.conf and set the COM port to connect and the baud rate.
• Ports and baud rates can be set for each of Windows, OS-X and Linux environments.
• You can write a standard serial port in "rx_prog.conf", and you should set it according to your environment.
• Each project's "Makefile" contains a script that can be written using "make run".

rx_prog.conf:

port_win   = COM12
port_osx   = /dev/tty.usbserial-DA00X2QP
port_linux = /dev/ttyUSB0
speed_win = 230400
speed_osx = 230400
speed_linux = 230400

Development using Renesus RX72N Envision Kit

Programming environment using C++ framework

• The following is an example program to communicate with SCI in C++.

1. The port of SCI is defined by "port_map.hpp", and there is more than one port to select There is no need to make complicated settings if you set "second candidate" or "third candidate".
2. The baud rate can be set as an integer, and is automatically calculated internally from the set frequency.
3. Even if you use interrupts, you can use them without polling (polling).
4. Transmission and reception are performed through a fixed length FIFO class, and the size can be freely defined.
5. The sci_putch and sci_getch functions are called from POSIX file functions, so they can be linked externally.
6. The above functions are accessed from stdout, stdin, stderr descriptors, so you can also use the printf function, but for various reasons we do not recommend using "utils :: format", which is the size It is smaller, more flexible, convenient and safe.

#include "common/renesas.hpp"
#include "common/fixed_fifo.hpp"
#include "common/sci_io.hpp"
#include "common/format.hpp"

namespace {
//  Use SCI9
    typedef device::SCI9 SCI_CH;

    typedef utils::fixed_fifo<char, 512> RXB;  // RX (RECV) buffer definition at 512 bytes
    typedef utils::fixed_fifo<char, 256> TXB;  // TX (SEND) buffer definition at 256 bytes

    typedef device::sci_io<SCI_CH, RXB, TXB> SCI;
//    When selecting a second candidate for the SCI port
//    typedef device::sci_io<SCI_CH, RXB, TXB, device::port_map::option::SECOND> SCI;
    SCI     sci_;
}

extern "C" {
    // standard output, called from "syscalls.c"（stdout, stderr）
    void sci_putch(char ch) { sci_.putch(ch); }

    void sci_puts(const char* str) { sci_.puts(str); }
