Using Renesas Flash Programmer with RX113 Starter Kit

Question

Hi! I want to use the Renesas Flash Programmer with the RX113 Starter Kit to donwload my program. As far as I understand, I simply must put the MCU from Single Chip Mode to USB Boot Mode by setting SW4 to ON/ON, so that MD and UB (P14) are grounded, connect my PC to USB Port USB0_2, and then turn power on. 
 Bu when I do this, no device is detected by my PC. Using the Flash Progammer with an RX62 MCU works fine, it detecs a "Generic Boot USB Direct" device. 
 Do I need to connect to the USB Standard Type A connector instead of the Mini USB port? - But as I interprete the schematics, these share the same signals? 
 Thank you!

Hello Sbrauss, 
 What about powering mode? Did you set the jumpers in the right position so the board is powered from the bus?

Kind regards,

Hello Stephan, 
 Unfortunately, I don't have this board to check if it works correctly. But I've finally found the User's Manual of it https://www.renesas.com/us/en/document/mat/renesas-starter-kit-rx113-users-manual which you may find useful. 
 I have some RA board though, and in that board I selected the self-powered mode, and connected the power via the second USB port, which made the trick. Maybe this will work for you as well. 
 Kind regards, 
 Sergey
