one problem happening f in the HEW for H8S2148 controllers controller remains blank

HI,

We were using HEW from 12 years , There is one problem happening from last month in the HEW for H8S2148 controller . After building the software , *.mot file is genereted , when the same is downloaded into the controller . Flash IDE shows downloaded successful but controller remains blank and nothing gets into the controller flash .Older programs present inside the controller gets erased . Is this a problem with licence issue , any updates required for using H8S toolchain.,Kindly let me know.

This is no license issue.
Have you checked the contents of your mot-file? Is the contents in a valid address range?
Have you tried to download the debug file *.abs?

The abs file can be downloaded using the debugger. It cannot be used on the flash programmer.
Of course the mot-file has hex-contents. Thus it is simple to check the addresses.

You are telling us that you still use trial version after working 12 years with H8S?
A trial license is valid for 60 days after installation. Apparently on your PC this period has passed. So now the compiler is limited to 64KB of linked code size.

Yes correct , We the old licence also but nothing is working . This very old software developed on this platform , But some changes needs to be made .Seems to be a problem . I am trying in different PC so that the problem is solved . Its urgent for us now . So asking for any trial license is available for 30 days for this compile r .

It sounds like you were using a licensed version but have tried to install on new pc. Renesas do have a license transfer request form to fill in we moving to a new machine. This will depend on you having the correct license code.

You may find that they can't generate a new license for old versions. If they give you a new license code for a slightly newer version will then probably depend on how big a customer you are, otherwise you may have to just buy the latest tools available.

Alternatively try and get the code down below the, 64k limit.
