Chapter 2. Preparation
2.1 Terminology
Some specific words used in this user's manual are defined as follows:
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 emulator debugger.
Emulator main unit (Hereafter PC4701)
This means a generic name for emulators for 8 and 16-bit MCUs. For details on specific models of
PC4701, visit Renesas Tools Homepage.
Emulation pod
This means the M30803T-RPD-E (this product). This emulation pod is for M16C/80 Group MCUs.
Host machine
This means a personal computer used to control the emulator and emulation pod.
Emulator debugger
This means a software tool M3T-PD308 to control the emulator from the host machine through an
interface.
Firmware
Program that analyzes contents of communication with the emulator debugger and controls the
emulator hardware. This program is installed in the EEPROM. This program is downloadable from
the emulator debugger to upgrade the firmware or to support other MCUs.
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 rise/fall 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.
Evaluation MCU
This means the microcomputer mounted on the emulation pod which is operated in the specific mode
for tools.
Target MCU
This means the microcomputer you are going to debug.
Target system
This means a user's application system using the microcomputer to be debugged.
