A.2 Debugging Problems
This section discusses the cause of the problem and countermeasures to resolve it. The common
problems encountered with debugging are:
A.2.1 Erratic Debug Behavior
HEW allows you to launch multiple “Slave HEW’s”. If more that one HEW is opened in a debug
session and/or the FoUSB Programmer software is also running, erratic behavior can result.
Having more than one ICD installed can also cause erratic problems or cause HEW to crash.
A.2.2 Cannot Connect to Target
When the message ‘Can’t connect with the target’ is displayed when attempting to connect, there
are several reasons that may cause this message to appear. Each cause and the corresponding
countermeasure are discussed below.
SKP8CMINI-17 User’s Manual Rev. 1.1
•
•
•
•
Please connect the ICD to your PC. Note: Regardless of whether the ICD is bus or target-
powered, please connect target board to ICD board first before plugging the USB cable to
your PC. Please see section 4 on system (SKP8CMINI-17) connectivity.
•
Please ensure that the Power Mode switch on the ICD is on the ‘USB’ side. In ‘Target’
position, the ICD is powered from the target side.
•
Please select ‘USB’ from the Init dialog box that is displayed right after you start a debug
Session.
•
Close the error message by clicking on ‘OK’ button, and then click on the ‘Cancel’ button of
the Init window. Make sure you select R5F21174.mcu’ (or‘R5F21154.mcu’ if using R8C/15). If
the MCU loaded on the ICD is different, HEW will re-program the ICD to match it.
•
Try a different target board and see if HEW will connect as you may have a damaged board
or MCU.

Cannot connect to target
Issues that may come up during debug operations
The SKP is not connected correctly.
The ICD has no power (Power LED on ICD is off).
USB was not selected on the Init dialog box.
The selected MCU on the ICD board and the actual target MCU (R8C/17) do not match.
The target MCU is damaged.
