4. Install PYOCD

After installing python, press the win+r key on the keyboard, a small window will pop up in the lower left corner of the screen, enter in the input box cmdand press the Enter key:

Click to run python according to the above figure, and you will get the window shown in the figure below:

Click to select the window, enter/copy and paste python -m pip install -U pyocdand press Enter, and wait patiently for the installation to complete, as shown in the following figure:

If an error is prompted, it is usually caused by network problems, because the relevant resources need to be pulled from abroad, so this requires multiple attempts and waiting patiently:

Generally, the timed out error is caused by the problem of accessing foreign servers. At this time, we continue to run python -m pip install -U pyocdand try a few more times:

It may only be needed once, or it may need to be tried several times. Generally, after an error is prompted, try again 2-3 times to complete successfully. The success interface is shown in the following figure:

5. Configure PYOCD (Windows)

It can be used on e2stduio after PYOCD is configured on the windows system, so we need to configure PYOCD on the windows system first, and the configuration steps are as follows.

Open it in the file manager C盘and create a new 100ASK_PYOCDdirectory, as shown in the figure below:

Enter the newly created directory, and copy the pyocd.yaml and MDK_Device_Packs_v4.5.0.zip in 100ASK_PYOCDthe data package to the newly created directory located in the C drive, as shown in the following figure:6_使用软件/PYOCD/100ASK_PYOCD

Use the decompression tool to decompress MDK_Device_Packs_v4.5.0.zip to get Renesas.RA_DFP.4.5.0.pack

Continue to use the decompression tool to decompress Renesas.RA_DFP.4.5.0.pack to get Renesas.RA_DFP.4.5.0the folder:

Renesas.RA_DFP.4.5.0 Rename the folder to Renesas.RA_DFP:

The installation is located in the data package 6_使用软件/Everything-1.4.1.1024.x64-Setup.exe, open it after installation , and enter the searchEverything according to the figure below pyocd

In the above search results, we focus on pyocd.exeand pyocd-gdbserver.exe, the directories of both are the same, located in: C:\Users\biubiu\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python311\Scriptsdifferent computers and different systems may be different, the actual result shall prevail. Please write down this path, it will be used again later.

Press win+r on the keyboard, a small window will pop up in the lower left corner of the screen, enter in the input box cmdand press Enter to enter the windows command line window, enter C:\Users\biubiu\AppData\ Roaming\Python\Python311\Scripts\pyocd.exe list --targets --config C:\100ASK_PYOCD\pyocd.yaml Press the Enter key to execute, as shown in the following figure:

At this point, the configuration of PYOCD (Windows) is complete!

9. The installation is complete, click ok to exit the installer:

6.2 Configure PYOCD in e2stduio

1. Open e2stduioFollow the steps below Window --> Perspectives --> Open Perspective -->Other...:

2. In the new window that opens, follow the steps below to open CMSIS Packs :

3. Follow the steps below to open Window --> Perspective --> Customize Perspective:

4. In the new window that opens, uncheck the two options, as shown in the figure:

5. Follow the steps below to open Window --> Preferences:

6. In the opened new window, according to the position shown in the figure below, paste the path that was located in the previous search using the Everything software C:\Users\biubiu\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python311\Scripts:

7. Create a new project or open an existing project, complete the compilation, and then open it as follows Run--> Debug Configuratons...:

8. After entering the new window, follow the steps below to open the new configuration file:

9. In the newly opened page, configure according to the following figure:

10. Click Debuggerto continue configuration, as shown in the following figure:
