Program Counter and Condition Code RegisterThe 16-bit Program Counter (PC) register points to the next instruction. Instructions are 16 or 32 bits in

Memory areasThe H8/300 has three kinds of memory area:• On-Chip Memory. Most of this is usually ROM with a smaller part of RAM. An access takes 2 exec

One instruction, SLEEP, can lead to an underestimated execution time because the duration of the "sleep mode" is not included in the WCET bo

1 INTRODUCTION1.1 Purpose and scopeBound-T is a tool for computing bounds on the worst-case execution time and stack usage of real-time programs; see

Stack usage analysisIn a similar way, Bound-T can analyse the machine code to find out where the stack pointer is changed and how much it is changed.
