  • [SOLVED] J-Link OB as an "External Tool" into e2studio / eclipse just to Flash the MCU?

    I have found many tutorials on how to compile and debug a project on the Renesas EK-RA2A1 demo board with the e2studio IDE (eclipse). Even when you create a new project the debugger is set by default.
    But I haven't found anywhere how to configure the J-Link OB that comes with the EK-RA2A1 as an "External Tool" in e2studio (eclipse) to just flash the microcontroller in release mode. I don't want to debug.

    Can anyone tell me how this "External Tool" is configured for the Renesas R7FA2A1AB MCU, or another equivalent.?

    Arguments: ??????????

  • Wrong forum to ask.
    This is regarding configuration of Renesas e2studio.
    I am not even sure if what you are trying to do is possible.
    I recommend to check with Renesas.

    By the way:
    If you only want to flash the micro, why firing up a whole Eclipse environment when there are many much more performant ways?

  • Sorry, but the tool is a J-Link OB from SEGGER and e2studio is just another eclipse.
    I have already found how to flash the project with J-Link OB as an External Tool in e2studio/eclipse.
    Instead of using the SEGGER software I use "Renesas Flash Programmer" Usage from Comman Line:

    Well, I would not take that for sure.
    Under the hood, Renesas did a lot of stuff and initially broke things that were working in a vanilla Eclipse.
    So it is not necessarily just "another" Eclipse.

    Correct, but neither there is support provided directly by SEGGER, for J-Link OBs, nor e2studio and its features / configuration is SEGGER-related.

    Great. Considering that the screenshot you provided comes from the Renesas community, confirms that you are are in good hands at Renesas for these kind of questions :)
