M3028BT-EPB User’s Manual Terminology
REJ10J1459-0200 Rev.2.00 Sep 16, 2006
Terminology
Some specific words used in this user's manual are defined as follows:
Emulator system
This means an emulator system built around the PC7501 emulator. The PC7501 emulator system is configured with an
emulator main unit, emulation probe, host machine and integrated development environment High-performance Embedded
Workshop.
Emulator main unit (Hereafter PC7501)
This means an emulator main unit for M16C Family MCUs.
Emulation probe
This means the emulation probe (this product) for the M16C/Tiny Series MCUs.
Emulator debugger
This means a software tool which starts up in the integrated development environment High-performance Embedded
Workshop to control the PC7501 and this product.
Renesas Integrated development environment High-performance Embedded Workshop
This tool provides powerful support for the development of embedded applications for Renesas microcomputers. It has an
emulator debugger function allowing for the PC7501 and emulation probe to be controlled from the host machine via an
interface. Furthermore, it permits a range of operations from editing a project to building and debugging it to be performed
within the same application. What’s more, it supports version management.
Firmware
Program that analyzes contents of communication with the emulator debugger and controls the emulator hardware. This
program is installed in the flash memory in the emulator main unit. This program is downloadable from the emulator debugger
to upgrade the firmware or to support other MCUs.
Host machine
This means a personal computer used to control the emulator main unit and emulation probe.
Software break (S/W break)
A software break is a function to break the program before the system executes an instruction at the specified address. The
instruction at the preset address will not be executed.
Hardware break (H/W break)
A hardware break is a function to break the program when the system detects a write/read of data to/from memory or a
leading/trailing edge of the signal entered from the external trace cable. The former break function is called address break; and
the latter break function is called trigger break. While the instruction at the address where the software break is set is not
executed, a hardware break is performed after the specified instruction is executed.
Target MCU
This means the MCU you are going to debug.
User system
This means a user's application system using the microcomputer to be debugged.
User program
This means the program you are going to debug.
Evaluation MCU
This means the MCU mounted on the emulation probe which is operated in the specific mode for tools.
