Development

The RA8917 support the ISP (In-System Programming) and ISD (In-System Debugging) functions for customer to

develop their system. Users can download their programs as well as data from a PC host to the external Flash

ROM.

on-chip Monitor program together with RAiO’s ICE (RICE-2000) Utility Program running on a PC will be executed

to support ICE debugging and ISP download of user programs from the PC Host.

(Customers)

programs can be executed only in this mode. The end-user can download the application program or data from

the customer’s website through the PC interface. Because the program/data was stored in the flash so the

application device of customer (such as speech toy) will operate independent that after disconnect with the PC.

A Portable Speech Toy

RICE-2000 (RICE for short) is a full-completed environment developed by RAiO especially for RA89XX series.

The major reason for developing RICE is give fully convenience to program designers who are using RA89XX IC,

and let them enjoy consistent and friendly design environment at planning, designing and debugging. In RICE

environment, it saves a great deal of developing time by not only providing Editor for users to do direct coding, but

also providing many Hot-Key functions for users to do direct compiling, linking, and downloading.

Since

RA89XX series carry 8-bit micro-processor and a framework of ISP (In-System-Programming), ISD (In-System

Debugging), then this simple and reliable environment of RICE can let program designers to proceed design and

debug in Real Chip. Moreover, the mass-production ICs are ready for clients to do planning and designing directly

without diverse traits happened between developing time and mass production period.

In the meanwhile, in order to support integrated speech interface, RICE provides a solution of 32K-bps ADPCM

for programmers to easily combine programs and speech files.

If you want to have more information and

program design skills of RA8917, please refer to the user manual of RICE-2000.
