E8a Emulator User's Manual 1. Overview
The emulator has three activation modes:
(1) Erase Flash and Connect
This mode is used to erase data of the MCU flash memory and activate the debugger. A
program for the emulator is also written to at the same time.
(2) Keep Flash and Connect
This mode is used to activate the debugger while retaining data of the MCU flash memory.
However, areas for the emulator program and vector areas used by the emulator will be
changed.
(3) Program Flash
This mode is used to activate the emulator as a simple programmer. Only the user program is
written to when the flash memory is downloaded (the emulator program is not written to).
Accordingly, in this mode, program debugging is not available.
The emulator provides the following features:
(1) Support for programming of Renesas’ 8- to 32-bit microcomputers
The emulator supports Renesas’ 8- to 32-bit microcomputers as the programming tool for the
flash memory.
(2) Support for low voltage
The lower limit of the operating voltage is reduced to 1.8 V. The emulator also supports the
microcomputer even if its programming voltage for the flash memory is low (reprogramming
of the flash memory depends on the voltage to reprogram the flash memory in the
microcomputer).
(3) Excellent cost-performance card emulator
Compactness and USB connection are obtained.
(4) Realtime emulation
Realtime emulation of the user system is enabled at the maximum operating frequency of the
MCU.
(5) Excellent operability
Using the High-performance Embedded Workshop on the Microsoft
®
Windows
®
2000 or
Microsoft
®
Windows
®
XP operating system enables user program debugging using a pointing
device such as a mouse.
(6) Various debugging functions
Various break and trace functions enable efficient debugging. Breakpoints and break
conditions can be set by the specific window, trace information can be displayed on a window,
and command-line functions can be used.
(7) Debugging of the user system in the final development stage
The user system can be debugged under conditions similar to the actual application conditions.
