Terminology - Renesas M30220TF-PRB User Manual

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, pod probe, host machine and emulator
debugger.
Emulator main unit (Hereafter PC4701)
This means the generic name for emulators for 8 and 16-bit MCUs. For details on specific models
of PC4701, visit Renesas Tools Homepage at http://www.renesas.com/en/tools
Emulation pod main unit
This means the emulation pod M30200T-RPD-E for the M16C/20 Series MCUs.
Pod probe
This means pod probe M30220TF-PRB (this product) for the M30220 and M30221 Groups.
Host machine
This means a personal computer used to control the emulator and emulation pod.
Emulator debugger
This means a software tool M3T-PD30 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 in the emulator main unit. 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 MCU mounted on the pod probe which is operated in the specific mode for tools.
Target MCU
This means the MCU you are going to debug.
Target system
This means a user's application system using the MCU to be debugged.
