okay bestie, so this is the manual page for m16c-flash, from the General Commands Manual section of the manual, and it's giving "tiny tool, huge main character energy" 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

m16c-flash β€” the flash programmer for Renesas M16C and R8C microcontrollers. literally what it says on the tin, no cap πŸ’…


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

m16c-flash [COM_DEV] [CPU_TYPE] [FILE] [ID1:...:ID7] [OPTIONS]

so like, you hand it a serial device, a CPU type, a file, an ID, and some options, and it just goes. iconic.


πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

m16c-flash is a flash programmer for the Renesas M16C and R8C microcontrollers which operates in asynchronous mode. that's the vibe. that's the whole vibe. πŸ’œ


πŸŽ€ OPTIONS πŸŽ€

  • COM_DEV β€” the serial device you're using for flashing, bestie. like /dev/ttyS0 or /dev/ttyUSB0 πŸ“
  • CPU_TYPE β€” the CPU type you wanna flash to. currently M16C or R8C, periodt.
  • FILE β€” the filename of the binary you want to flash. yes, the actual file. the whole point. πŸ™ˆ
  • ID1:...:ID7 β€” the device ID. seven of them, colon-separated, don't skip any ✨
  • --help β€” show a help text and exit. always here for you when you're lost 🫢
  • --version β€” show version information and exit. for when you gotta know what you're working with πŸ’…

πŸ”₯ EXAMPLES πŸ”₯

1. flash the simple.s file onto an M16C microcontroller via the first serial port (/dev/ttyS0), using 0:0:0:0:0:0:0 as the device ID:

m16c-flash /dev/ttyS0 M16C simple.s 0:0:0:0:0:0:0

2. flash the test.mot file onto an R8C microcontroller via the USB serial device /dev/ttyUSB0, and use ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff as the device ID:

m16c-flash /dev/ttyUSB0 R8C test.mot ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

look at that. two whole examples. we ate. πŸ‘‘
