Check out this web link to what looks like a University project. There's an M16C running graphics on a small monochrome module. They also have an R8C solution.
These boards don't seem to have debugger connections. You'll also note that they appear to be designed for hand-assembly.

At www.RenesasInteractive.com, you can sign up for free. This website runs 24/7 and can really help to learn and use Renesas MCUs.
1- RenesasInteractive has tons of flash based training courses that you can take. These self paced courses give you the tech details of a wide range of Renesas MCUs. At the end, you can take a short quiz to become RenesasInteractive certified.
2- VirtuaLabs. VirtuaLabs are REAL hardware and software setups sitting in a giant server rack. Using a VirtuaLab, you can take control of these tools just like they are sitting on your desk. This is a GREAT way to try before you buy. The Renesas VirtuaLabs contain different hardware setups from small dev kits to full blow in system emulators. That's right, try out a $5,000 emulator setup for FREE!!!!
The coolest story we've ever heard was from a person working on a small robot design. They just could not get a serial protocol debugged with the tools they had. The went to www.RenesasInteractive.com, uploaded their code into a VirtuaLab that had an emulator, and in 15 minutes had their code working. How's that for free!?!
The M16C kit, ModSDKM16C-BASE-DBG, has these features:
- 3x Serial interface (2x with MAX232, 1xTTL)
- USB to serial interface
- CAN with transceiver
- 8 User LEDs
- 16 x 2 characters LCD module with LED backlight
- LDR and potentiometer connected to A/D-channel
- Encoder switch with push-button
- MMC/SD card interface
- FRAM (over I²C)
- SRAM 128kx8 (optional)
- Reset, NMI, Boot mode push-button
- 3 user push-button (Int0, Int1, Int2)
- E8 Debug-connector
- FoUSB-connector for Flashtool e.g. Flasher 5 from Segger
- Power input: +5V regulated / 7,5-12V unregulated / USB
- Supply voltage (Vcc) = 3,4V or 5V selectable
- Debugging via USB, RS232 or E8 emulator
- E8-USB debugger included

Micrium Releases HEW TargetServer Compatible uC/Probe RTOS Support in Info
Posted by gpatsil Jul 14, 2009
By providing simulation on a Windows platform users can test a good portion of their embedded software and be able to visualize it using uC/Probe. Another advantage for users is that visualization screens can be created offline and thus be ready when the actual hardware shows up. The new features considerably strengthen uC/Probe’s capabilities as a demonstration and marketing tool, as it can now demo new products without needing to have hardware connected to the PC.

Here's the story:

This board has an FPGA on it, but the same stack could easily port to an H8 (or M16C for that matter) that had on-chip IrDA PHY layer support - like the 38076.
