Terminology
Some specific words used in this user's manual are defined as follows:
Emulation pod main unit
This means the emulation pod M30200T-RPD-E for the M16C/20 Series MCUs.
Emulator debugger
This means a software tool M3T-PD30 to control the emulator from the host machine through an
interface.
Emulator main unit (Hereafter PC4701)
This means the generic name for emulators for 8 and 16-bit MCUs. For details on specific models
of PC4701, visit Renesas Tools Homepage at http://www.renesas.com/en/tools
Emulator system
This means an emulator system built around the PC4701 emulator. The PC4701 emulator system is
configured with an emulator main unit, emulation pod, pod probe, host machine and emulator
debugger.
Evaluation MCU
This means the microcomputer mounted on the emulation pod which is operated in the specific mode
for tools.
Firmware
Program that analyzes contents of communication with the emulator debugger and controls the
emulator hardware. This program is installed in the EEPROM. This program is downloadable from
the emulator debugger to upgrade the firmware or to support other MCUs.
Hardware 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 rise/fall 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.
Host machine
This means a personal computer used to control the emulator and emulation pod.
Pod probe
This means pod probe M302N2T-PRB (this product) for the M302N1 and M302N2 Groups.
Software 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.
Target MCU
This means the MCU you are going to debug.
Target system
This means a user's application system using the MCU to be debugged.
