Chapter 1 Introduction
The Hitachi FLASH Development Toolkit (FDT) is an on-board FLASH programming tool for Hitachi F-ZTAT
microcomputers that provides a high-performance and user-friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI).
FDT is intended to be used with the Hitachi Embedded Workshop (HEW), to provide a complete solution for the
embedded software developer using Hitachi F-ZTAT microcomputers.
FDT may also be used as a general purpose S-Record or Binary editor.
1.1 Key Features
• Standard window operation based on the 32-bit Windows GUI.
• Various online help functions.
• Selectable messaging levels.
• Simple programming environment using an adapter board.
• Serial communication: maximum 115,200 bits/s.

Chapter 2 System Overview
FDT is a modular software system, utilising self-contained modules for specific tasks. These modules are linked
to a general purpose Graphical User Interface, which provides a common look & feel independent of the
particular modules with which the system is configured.
FDT employs a hierarchical structure so that work can be organised in a logical manner. The top level of the
structure is the workspace.
To be useful, the workspace must contain at least one project. In order to create a project, a workspace must be
created first.
Each project specifies its own target device configuration (specified when creating the project) and set of target
files (S-Record / Binary) that can be used to program the device.
The project settings for the target device connection need only be set once, as they are stored between sessions.
A single project within the workspace is active at any point in time. The Active project is the context to which
all Device Menu, Project Menu and Project Toolbar co mmands will be directed.
When a project has been created, target files can be added to it. These files may be:
• Used to program the device.
• Used to build a Device Image.
• Opened in the binary editor.
The files added to a project are automatically copied from their original source location. In copying a file, a
dependency link is created such that if the original source file is modified then the copied version in the project
may be updated upon request.
When using a project it is possible to take advantage of the following FDT features:
• Target file dependency checking.
• Advanced messaging levels.
• Device Image builder.
• Uploading da ta fro m the target device.
2.1 User Interface
The FDT Graphical User Interface is a Windows application that presents a work environment, which allows
the user to program FLASH memory.

Figure 2.1 - FDT Graphical User Interface
Menu bar
Commands are grouped into related areas on the Menu bar as indicated by the menu titles. Using the mouse the
user can select a command operation, invoke a dialog box or a window to interact with the system. Clicking the
left mouse button on a menu title will p ull down that me n u, from which a selectio n can be made.
If a menu item does not perform an action directly, but instead displays a dialog box or window for further user
interaction, then its name is append ed with an ellipsis (three dots, …).
If a menu item can also be invoked by pressing a hot key (a combination of keys), then the hot key is displayed
to the right of th e item.
If a menu item toggles a feature ON or OFF then a check mark (ü) will be displayed next to its text when it is
ON:

If a menu item has the symbol (8) next to it then a cascading or hierarchical menu is available. Clicking on the
menu item will reveal the cascading menu:
Menus can also be selected directly from the keyboard by pressing the ALT key followed by the corresponding
key of the underlined letter or number for the menu item that the user wants to select, e.g.
..press ALT+F, O in sequence to open a project ([File->Open]).
Toolbars
The FDT has several toolbars located below the Menu bar. This provides quick access to FDT features by
clicking the respective button with the mouse.
The buttons on each toolbar are arranged in associated groups.
To find out th e function of the button, m ove the mouse o v e r th e button and a h in t will b e d isp layed next to th e
button and in the status bar.
The toolbar buttons can be customised to provide a button for the majority of the features available in FDT and
can be arranged in an order that the user finds convenient.
For more details about changing the arrangement of the toolbar buttons and a detailed description of each
button’s function, see chapter 4, Configuring the User Interface.

Status Ba r
The Status Bar is located at the bottom of the FDT application window. It provides the user with information
about what the application is doing or the last action performed.
The left section of the Status Bar describes the action of the Toolbar items as the mouse arrow key is positioned
over an item.
The next section indicates whether the interface is connected to the device and the port used. It also indicates
what action is taking place.
When an action is being performed, the third section gives an increasing percentage display.
The last section of the bar indicates the state of the Caps Lock key.
Pop-up menus
Many windows have local pop-up menus in order to make commonly used features easier to access. These
menus are invoked by clicking the right mouse button in the window (or pressing SHIFT+F10) and then
selecting the required menu option. An example pop-up menu is:
The contents and operation of specific pop-up menus are explained in detail in the description of each FDT
window, see the chapter 6, Windows.
10
Data entry
When entering data in the ‘Find’, ‘Replace’ or ‘Fill’ dialog boxes only hexadecimal or ASCII values can be
used, based on the ASCII Search check box. When entering hexadecimal values a preceding ‘0x’ is fixed in the
entry text box, so hexadecimal values are appended.
2.2 Help
FDT has a standard Windows context sensitive help system. This provides on-line information for using the
system.
Help can be invoked by pressing the F1 key or via the Help menu. Additionally, some windows and dialog
boxes have a dedicated help button to launch th e h e lp file at the appropr iate location.
Context Sensitive Help
To get help on a specific item in the FDT graphical interface, a help cursor can be used. To enable the help
cursor press SHIFT+F1.
Your cursor then changes to include a question mark ( ). You can then click on the item for which you require
help and th e h e lp system will be open ed at the appropriate location, if he lp information exists. Help can be
invoked through the Help menu.

Chapter 4 Configuring the User Interface
When the user interface for FDT was designed an attempt was made to make frequently used operations quickly
accessible and have related operations grouped in a logical order. However, when the user is in the middle of a
long session he may find it more useful to have a different arrangement of the user interface items. FDT
facilitates this user customisation. This chapter describes how the user interface can be arranged and how
various aspects of the display can be customised.
4.1 Arranging Windows
Minimising windows
When an operation is finished on an open Editor window but it may be necessary to look at it in its current state
later, it can be reduced to an icon, this is called minimising the window. To minimise a window either click on
the ‘minimise’ button of the window, or select [Minimise] from the window drop-down menu.
The window is minimised to an icon at the bottom of the Editor window.
Note The icon may not be visible if there is another window open over the bottom of the screen.
To restore the icon back to a window either double click on the icon, or click once to pop up the icon menu and
select [Restore], or select required window from the Menu bar [Window] drop-down menu.
Tiling windows
After some time there may be many windows open on the screen. All the windows can be arranged in a tile
format with none of them overlapping each other using the "Tile Windows" option. To invoke this select the
[Window->Tile Windows] menu option.
All currently open windows are arranged in a tile format. Windows that are minimised to icons are not affected.
4.2 Locating Currently Open Windows
When many windows are open in the FDT application window it is quite easy to lose one of them behind the
others.
Locating a specific window
There are two methods to find the lost window.
1. To select a specific window, invoke the [Window] menu. Click on the required window from the list of open
windows at the bottom of the menu. The currently selected window will have a check mark next to it in the
window list.
The window selected will be brought to the front of the display. If it is minimised the icon is restored to a
window.
2. If the [Window->Workbook View] menu item is checked, a specific window can also be selected by
clicking on the tab containing the file name at the bottom of the Editor window. If the window is not
minimised it will be brought to the front of the display. If it is minimised, the minimised icon will be brought
to the front of the display.
