Terminology
Some specific words used in this user's manual are defined as follows:
Emulator main unit (Hereafter PC4701)
This means a generic name for emulators for M16C, 7700, 740 Families. Take note of the fact that the M306H7T3-RPD-E
(this product) does not support the PC4701L and PC4700L emulators. For details on specific models of PC4701, visit the
Renesas Tools Homepage at http://www.renesas.com/en/tools.
Emulation pod
This means the emulation pod (this product) for the M16C/6H Group M306H7.
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, host machine and integrated development environment High-performance Embedded
Workshop.
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 emulator PC4701 and emulation pod 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.
Emulator debugger (M16C PC4701 emulator debugger)
This means a software tool starting up from the High-performance Embedded Workshop to control the emulator and this
product and enables debugging.
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 pod.
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.
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
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 pod which is operated in the specific mode for tools.
