Note On Interruption; Notes On Map References And Settings; Notes On Stack Area; Note On When The Emulator Debugger Ends - Renesas M38000TL2-FPD User Manual

Note on Interruption:

• While the program is paused, interrupts are made by running a selected address loop. For this
reason, timers and other functions are not stopped while the program is paused (including while
debug programs are running).
If an interrupt request is generated at any time other than when the program is being executed (while
the user program is paused or a debug program is running), the interrupt is not generated because
the emulator disables interrupts. 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.
• Be sure to set the internal RAM of MCU and SFR area to "EXT".
• When the RAM area of the target MCU is larger than the RAM in the emulator MCU, set the
marginal area to "INT".

Notes on Stack Area:

• With this product, a maximum 3 bytes of the user stack is consumed as a work area.
• If the user stack area does not have enough area, do not use areas which cannot be used as stack (SFR
area, RAM area which stores data, or ROM area) as work area. Using areas like this is a cause of
user program crashes and destabilized emulator control. Therefore, ensure the +3 bytes maximum
capacity used by the user program as the user stack area.
• With this product, the address listed in MCU file is used as stack area after the reset is released.

Note on When the Emulator Debugger Ends:

• To restart the emulator debugger after it ends, always shut power to the emulator module off once
and then on again.

Notes on Connecting the Target System:

• When connecting the PCA7733 REV.B flexible board and the probe direction converter board, be
careful not to forcibly press the top of the J1 part of the PCA7733 REV.B flexible board. (The J1
connector is guaranteed for only 20 insertion/removal iterations.)
• Especially be careful not to insert the J1 connector in the wrong direction.
