E2 Emulator Lite, an On-Chip Debugging Emulator
for CS+ Integrated Development Environment
Outline
Since its initial release, sales of our on-chip debugging emulator, E2 emulator Lite (E2 Lite) have increased
(primarily through new customers) thanks to its competitive price and stylish translucent design.
Supporting the CS+ integrated development environment since January 2017, E2 Lite can now be even more readily
utilized in a variety of development scenarios.
This news reintroduces E2 Lite and we wish you to consider introducing E2 Lite in the development environment
where CS+ is used.
1. Supported CS+ Integrated Development Environment
E2 Lite has until recently supported only the e2 studio integrated development environment based on Eclipse.
However, as of January 2017, E2 Lite now supports the CS+ integrated development environment used by many of
our customers in Asia.
E2 Lite now supports the following integrated development environments.
Renesas Electronics products:
- CS+ V5.00.00 and later
-
e2 studio V4.0.1 and later
IAR Systems products:
-
-
IAR Embedded Workbench for RX
IAR Embedded Workbench for RL78

2. Overview
E2 Lite is an on-chip debugging emulator and flash programmer for MCUs of the RX and RL78 families.
This product is more competitively priced than ever before, and includes the debugging function (equivalent to
the E1 emulator), making it useful in areas such as those for the hobbyist, educational purposes, or in fully-fledged
developmental applications.
E2 Lite has the compatibility interface as the E1 emulator so that can be readily connected to boards designed for
the E1 emulator (Note). Note also that optional products can continue to be used.
Note: E2 Lite supports user system power supply voltages in the range 1.8 V to 5.0 V.
The emulator supports an output voltage (to the user system) of 3.3 V. 5.0 V is not supported.
