4.6 Notes on Using This Product
Notes on using this product are listed below. When debugging the MCU using he emulator, be careful about the following
precautions.
IMPORTANT
Note on the Version of the Emulator Debugger:
Be sure to use this product with one of the following emulator debuggers.
1. M16C PC4701 Emulator Debugger
2. M3T-PD30 V8.20 Release 1 or later
Note on Selecting the MCU File:
It is necessary to make an MCU file which contains information such as, SFR area, internal RAM area and
internal ROM area, etc. to use this product. For creating an MCU file, see “3.1 Making an MCU File” on
page 50. For each memory map of MCU , refer to its hardware manual.
Note on Malfunctions in the PC4701 System
If the emulator malfunctions because of interference like external noise, do the following to remedy the
trouble
(1) Press the RESET switch on the emulator front panel.
(2) If normal operation is not restored after step (1), shut OFF power to the emulator once and then reactivate
it.
Notes on Downloading Firmware:
Before using this product for the first time, it is necessary to download the dedicated firmware (control
software built into the PC4701). Please note that, to do this, it is necessary to start up the emulator main unit
in maintenance mode. For firmware download procedures, see "2.6.2 Downloading Firmware in Maintenance
Mode" (page 27). Once the firmware has been downloaded, the product can be used by simply turning on the
power.
Do not shut off the power while downloading the firmware. If this happens, the product will not start up
properly. If power is shut off unexpectedly, redownload the firmware in maintenance mode.
Be sure to disconnect the user system before downloading the firmware.
Notes on the Self-check:
If the self-check does not result normally (excluding target status error), the emulation pod may be damaged.
Then contact your local distributor.
Be sure to disconnect the user system before executing the self-check.
Note on Quitting the Emulator Debugger:
To restart the emulator debugger after it ends, always shut power to the emulator off once and wait about 10
seconds, then turn the power on again.
Note on Clock Supply to the MCU:
A clock supplied to the evaluation MCU is selected by the Clock tab in the Init dialog box of the emulator
debugger.
(1) When Internal is selected:
A clock generated by the oscillation circuit in the emulation pod is supplied to the evaluation MCU. The
clock is continually supplied to the evaluation MCU regardless of "user system clock status" and "user
program execution status".
(2) When External is selected:
Clock supply to the evaluation MCU depends on oscillation status (oscillate/off) of the user system.
