(1) Set the target system on a platform to relax bends and relieve stress in the board. (2) The boundary between the firm and flexible parts of the flexible board does not ready bend. Do not bend it excessively. Figure 1.1 Note on handling the flexible cable PCA7733 REV.B When bending the flexible board, keep R to 30 mm or more as shown at left.
The recommended pull-up value is about 10kΩ. The MCU can be reset by outputting "L" to the target through the reset clip on the M38000TL2-FPD. However, if the reset circuit on the target is an H-output type RESET IC, it cannot be set to "L" and the emulator will not operate properly.
Note on Differences between Actual MCU and Emulator: • Operations of the emulator differ from those of mask MCUs as listed below. (1) Reset condition (2) Initial values of internal resource data at power-on (3) Interrupt stack pointer after releasing reset (4) Internal memory (ROM and RAM) capacities, etc.
However, the interrupt request bit is not cleared. Notes on MAP References and Settings: • When starting up the M38000TL2-FPD, initial MAP settings are as follows. 0000h--3FFFh: 4000h--FFFFh: •...

Vcc cables according to your target system. 3.1 Switch Settings The M38000TL2-FPD is designed for use with the RSS/RFS and RLSS/RLFS chips* Family MCUs. The MCU type select switch (SW1) is used to switch the emulator MCU's operating supply voltage sense input and feeding supply voltage output via Vcc cable.
Note on Changing the Clock Supply: IMPORTANT • With the M38000TL2-FPD, it is fixed to use the oscillator circuit on the target system as a clock supply. Make note of the fact that the setting by Init dialog when starting up the emulator debugger or inputting CLK command on the script window is invalid.
3.3 Connecting the PC4701 To connect the emulation pod to the PC4701, use the 120-pin flexible cable included with this product package. Connect the PC4701 side connector of the 120-pin flexible cable to the cable connector of the PC4701, then secure with screws. Figure 3.2 shows how to connect the PC4701 and 120-pin flexible cable.
3.4 Connecting the Emulator MCU There are following three methods to connect the emulator MCU and M38000TL2-FPD, so you can choose the appropriate method depending on the type of an emulator MCU. (1) When the emulator MCU is an RSS or RLSS chip...
Direction for connecting target system Pin numbers in the diagram indicate the probe direction converter board's pin numbers that are connected to the emulator MCU. Figure 3.5 Connecting the M38000TL2-FPD and RSS/RLSS chip PCA7733 REV.B 28DP-WS No. 1 pin (printed)
If the emulator MCU is an RFS or RLFS chip with a screw-lock, use the 32LCC-S board as the probe direction converter board to connect with the target system. Figure 3.6 Connecting the M38000TL2-FPD and RFS chip (with screw-lock) Connecting procedure PCA7733 REV.B...
If the emulator MCU is an RFS or RLFS chip without a screw-lock, use the 28DP-WS board as the probe direction converter board and the PCA4933 (separately available) to connect with the target system. Figure 3.7 Connecting the M38000TL2-FPD and RFS chip (without screw-lock) Notes on Connecting the Target System: 3.5 Connecting the Target System Use the suitable converter for your package to connect the emulator MCU and the target system.
3.6 M38000TL2-PSW (RESET, GND and Vcc Cables with Overcurrent Protective Circuits) The M38000TL2-PSW is an upgraded version of the RESET, GND and Vcc cables with protective circuits added for prevention of possible damage to the M38000TL2-FPD in case the cables are improperly connected.
(2) Connecting the M38000TL2-PSW to the M38000TL2-FPD Connect the M38000TL2-PSW to the M38000TL2-FPD. Connect the connector matching the color of the M38000TL2-PSW's each cable and the color display on the M38000TL2-FPD (see Figures 3.9 and 3.10). M38000TL2-FPD Connector for emulation pod...
(3) Connecting the M38000TL2-PSW to the Target System Connect the clips for RESET, GND and Vcc on the tip of the M38000TL2-FPD's three-color cables to the RESET, GND and Vcc pins on the target system. (1) Reset cable (white) (2) GND cable (black)
The recommended pull-up value is about 10kΩ. The MCU can be reset by outputting "L" to the target through the reset clip on the M38000TL2-FPD. However, if the reset circuit on the target is an H- output type RESET IC, it cannot be set to "L" and the emulator will not operate properly.

(4) When the Program Window is Not Displayed Normally Table 6.3 Checkpoints of errors when starting up the emulator debugger Error The emulation pod is not connected to the target system. The emulation pod cannot be connected to the target system. Communication error occurred.
Connect these pieces of equipment firmly again. (6) Check to see if the GND and RESET cables from the M38000TL2-FPD are correctly connected to the target system. (7) If none of the above holds true, the hardware or the emulator MCU may be faulty. Please contact your local distributor.
6.4 When the M38000TL2-FPD Does Not Work Properly Check the following when the M38000TL2-FPD does not work properly. Check whether the PC4701 and M38000TL2-FPD are connected properly via the 120-pin flexible cable. For the connection, refer to "3.3 Connecting the PC4701" (page 22).
A. 2 The M38000TL2-FPD is designed to use the target system's oscillator circuit for its oscillation clock source. Therefore, any attempt to change the clock source by entering CLK command from the Init dialog box that is displayed when the emulator debugger starts or from the script window has no effect.
