CHAPTER 1 OVERVIEW
MINICUBE2 is an on-chip debug emulator with flash programming function, which is used for debugging and
programming a program to be embedded in on-chip flash memory microcontrollers.
1.1 Features
•
On-chip debugging
Can debug with the target microcontroller connected to the target system.
•
Flash memory programming
Can write programs to the on-chip flash memory of microcontrollers.
•
USB connection
Can be connected to the host machine via USB interface 2.0 or 1.1.
Since MINICUBE2 operates on power supplied via USB, an external power supply is unnecessary.
•
Variety of supported devices and expandability
MINICUBE2 supports a wide variety of NEC Electronics 8- to 32-bit on-chip flash memory
microcontrollers. More devices can be supported by upgrading firmware embedded in MINICUBE2.
•
Self-testing function
MINICUBE2 has a self-testing function, which is used to detect faults in MINICUBE2 and perform
maintenance.
