CubeSuite+

[Install and go! No learning curve to worry about.]

Tutorials make getting started a breeze.

With the simple and helpful tutorials covering every step, from program creation to debugging, even users new to Renesas tools will effortlessly grasp CubeSuite+ functions in no time.

Customizable GUI and user-friendly features

CubeSuite+ user interface is intuitive and easy to follow, with the same operability applicable to every MCU, saving the developer time on each new project. The program windows can be customized by the user with docking, floating and auto-hiding, while menus and icon settings can be adjusted to meet each user's preferences.

Single-page configuration window

Detailed settings for all items are consolidated in a unified control property panel. Simply select a node from the project tree and the display switches to facilitate the convenient search and configuration of settings.

[Complete Design Support]

Project tree based on MCU development flow

CubeSuite+ positions the project tree to match the flow of MCU development. This sophisticated function enables the user to simply click on a node to move to the desired task.

Simple Pin List Creation

Configure the processing of dual-use pins using the pin list while confirming pin layout in the pin configuration diagram. Handy features include pasting the pin configuration diagram in the design documents or outputting the pin list in an EXCEL file (may not be available for some MCUs).

Device Driver Code Generation

CubeSuite+ is equipped with a "code generation function" that uses GUI settings to automatically generate a device driver program that controls MCU peripheral functions (timer, UART, A/D, etc.). User-friendly peripheral function setup facilitates smooth and problem-free program development, even when programming new MCUs.

[Reduced Build Time]

Rapid build enables greatly reduced build time

Conventional development environments require the user to edit all source files first, and then execute a build for the entire program, resulting in a lengthy build time.
CubeSuite+ features a "Rapid Build" function that automatically runs the build function in the background each time a source file is changed or saved, greatly reducing overall build time.

Action events eliminate the need for embedded debug printf

Conventionally, debugging generally included a method for displaying the value of predefined variables through an embedded printf function; requiring a build operation each time the printf function was embedded.
CubeSuite+ is equipped with the "action event function," for displaying variable values each time a program is executed at a specified address. Simply select the variable display function with a quick right click. Less time is eaten up by multiple build operations, greatly accelerating and enhancing the debug process.

[Graphical, convenient debugging]

Graph function clearly displays variable- and function-related information

The ability to display variable values during program execution or graphs like an oscilloscope makes it possible to develop programs while performing monitoring of analog variations, as is necessary for sensor applications and the like. You can display the ratios of execution times among functions or a call graph to track down the processing associated with high loads. This makes it possible to improve overall system performance in a very efficient manner.
Other analysis functions include a source code display for functions and variables, CSV output of information, and the ability to search for all occurrences of specific definitions or declarations. These capabilities simplify administration and management even when the program structure is comparatively large-scale and complex.

Repetitive tasks automated in script

CubeSuite+ embeds the "Python Console" function for automating repetitive operations executed before and after program download and after breaks; describing operations in the script enables the user to develop programs with greater ease and no operational mistakes.

[Secure resource management and application]

Batch back up

Worry-free software development even when your done! The CubeSuite+ "backup function" saves and restores tools and projects in one batch, enabling quick and easy storage and recovery of software developments in its completed state.

[Simple updating]

CubeSuite+ Update Manager

CubeSuite+ Update Manager checks via Internet if there are any updated resources available for each installed tool and downloads them accordingly to simplify the update process.
