CHAPTER 5 HOW TO USE MINICUBE2 WITH 78K0S MICROCONTROLLER
This chapter describes how to use MINICUBE2 when performing on-chip debugging and flash programming for
a 78K0S microcontroller.
To perform on-chip debugging for a 78K0S microcontroller, a specific program (debug function) must be
downloaded to the device, and then debug the device mounted on the target system. Since debugging is
performed with the target device operating on the board, this method is suitable for field debugging.
Flash programming is a method to write a program to the flash memory embedded in a device. Erasing and
writing the program can be performed on-board with the device.
Read the following chapters if you are using MINICUBE2 for the first time with a 78K0S microcontroller as the
target device.
• 5.1 Target System Design
For communication between MINICUBE2 and the target system, communication circuits must be mounted on
the target system. This section describes the circuit design and mounting of connectors.
• 5.2 On-Chip Debugging
This section describes the system configuration and startup method to perform on-chip debugging with
MINICUBE2.
• 5.3 Flash Programming
This section describes the system configuration and startup method to perform flash programming with
MINICUBE2.
