Chapter 8: Configuring the Emulator
Configuring the Emulator General Items Screen
To specify the memory access size
• Choose "Any", "Bytes", "Words", or "Longs" for the "Memory Access Size"
configuration option.
Choose "Any" if you want the emulator to select the optimum access size for the
transaction to be completed.
Choose "Bytes" if the emulator should make only 8-bit accesses to memory.
Choose "Words" if the emulator should make only 16-bit accesses to memory.
Choose "Longs" if the emulator should make only 32-bit accesses to memory.
When accessing memory locations, the access mode specifies the type of
microprocessor cycles that are used to read or write the value(s). By default, "Any"
is selected. In the "Any" mode, long-word accesses are made to memory, except
when accessing an address not on a long-word boundary, or when only one byte or
one word remains to be accessed. In these cases, the appropriate memory access
mode ("Bytes" or "Words") will be used.
If you choose the "Bytes" access mode, and a target system location is modified to
contain the value 12345678H, byte instructions will be used to write the byte values
12H, 34H, 56H, and 78H to target system memory.
If set to "Any", the size you include in your "display memory" or "modify memory"
command will be used for the access. It will temporarily override the "Any"
designation for the access. If set to "Bytes", "Words", or "Longs", the size selected
in your "display memory" or "modify memory" commands will have no effect on
the actual memory access; it will be what you specified for the memory access size.
