β¨ NAME β¨
m16c-flash β the flash programmer for Renesas M16C and R8C microcontrollers. literally what it says on the tin, no cap π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
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.

π OPTIONS π
COM_DEVβ the serial device you're using for flashing, bestie. like/dev/ttyS0or/dev/ttyUSB0πCPU_TYPEβ the CPU type you wanna flash to. currentlyM16CorR8C, periodt.FILEβ the filename of the binary you want to flash. yes, the actual file. the whole point. πID1:...:ID7β the device ID. seven of them, colon-separated, don't skip any β¨--helpβ show a help text and exit. always here for you when you're lost π«Ά--versionβ show version information and exit. for when you gotta know what you're working with π

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
