(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 (FLX100) When bending the flexible board, keep R to 30 mm or more as shown at left.
Note on Malfunctions in the PC4701 System: • If the emulator malfunctions because of interference such as external noise, do the following to remedy the trouble. (1) Press the RESET button on the emulator front panel. (2) If normal operation is not restored after step (1), shut OFF power to the emulator once and then reactivate it.
Note on Processor Mode Register (address D8 • When using this product, the following precautions must be observed with the processor mode register 0 in addition to those for the actual MCU. (1) Software reset bit (bit 3) If "1" is set for the software reset bit when the user program is not running, the MCU will be reset while debug commands are being executed, thus commands will not end as they normally do.
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) Power voltage (3) Initial values of internal resource data at power-on (4) Internal memory (ROM and RAM) capacities, etc. (5) XIN and XOUT pins Make note of the fact that in the oscillator circuit where a resonator is connected between the XIN and XOUT pins, oscillation does not occur because a flexible cable, buffer IC and other...

3.2 Switch Settings Figure 3.2 shows the positions of the switches and Table 3.1 shows each switch setting. Figure 3.2 Positions of the switches and their factory-settings * For the circuit configuration of these switches, refer to "5.3 Connection Diagram" (page 46).
Page 26
Table 3.1 Switch settings of the M37760T-RPD-E Switch setting XCIN (Factory-setting) USENSE JP23 (Factory-setting) XOUT JP24 (Factory-setting) P30/XCOUT JP25 (Factory-setting) JP11-JP18 These switches are related to the peripheral circuit of the MCU such as OSD. JP26-JP41 For the specifications of these switches, see "5.3 Connection Diagram" (page 46).
IMPORTANT • For using P31/XCIN pin as a sub-clock, it is necessary to set the SW1 in the emulation pod to XCIN side. For how to set the switches, refer to "3.2 Switch Settings" (page 23). • The clock supply of XIN-XOUT and XCIN-XCOUT pins can be set by the Init dialog when starting up the emulator debugger or inputting CLK command on the script window.
(1) Using the Oscillator Circuit on the Target System When turning on the power supply, the internal clock of the emulation pod is selected to supply the clock to the MCU. To use the external clock on the target system, change the clock by the CLK command of the emulator debugger.
(2) Changing the Internal Oscillator Circuit of the Emulation Pod An oscillator circuit board for 16 MHz (for XIN) and 14.318 MHz (for OSCIN3) are mounted on the emulation pod. To use the emulation pod at a frequency other than 16 MHz or 14.318 MHz, build the desired oscillator circuit on the included OSC-2 oscillator circuit board (bare board) and replace the board installed in the emulation pod when shipped from the factory.
(3) Replacing the Oscillator Circuit Boards Figure 3.7 shows how to replace the oscillator circuit boards. For the position of the oscillator circuit board, see "Figure 2.2 Internal view of the emulation pod" (page 18). Figure 3.7 Replacing the oscillator circuit boards (1) Unscrew the screw securing the oscillator circuit board.
3.4 Connecting the PC4701 To connect the emulation pod to the PC4701, use the FLX120-RPD 120-pin flexible cable included in this product package. Connect the PC4701 side connector of the FLX120-RPD to the cable connector of the PC4701, then secure with screws. (1) Connecting the Cable to the PC4701 Figure 3.8 shows how to connect the PC4701 and FLX120-RPD.
(2) Connecting the Cable to the Emulation Pod Figure 3.9 shows how to connect the FLX120-RPD and the emulation pod. Figure 3.9 Connecting emulation pod and FLX120-RPD Note on Connecting the Cable: • Always shut OFF power before connecting the cable. The power ON state could destroy internal circuits.
3.5 Connecting the Target System There are four ways available to connect the emulation pod to target system as shown in Figure 3.10. Figure 3.10 Connecting emulation pod and target system *1 These three items are available in one package. *2 M3T-FLX-100LCC is included in this emulation pod package.

Chapter 4. Usage 4.1 Turning On the Power Supply (1) Checking the Connection of the System Before turning the power ON, check the connection of the PC4701, emulation pod, converter board and target system. (2) Turning On the Power Supply Power ON/OFF the target system and the PC4701 as simultaneously as possible.
(1) Within 2 seconds of activating power to the emulator, press the RESET button on the emulator front panel. This will switch the emulator to maintenance mode. (2) Start up the emulator debugger. When the Init dialog box setup is completed, the dialog which urges to download the firmware will appear.
4.3 Starting Up Emulator Debugger - Part 1 (Setting INIT Dialog) The Init dialog box shown in Figure 4.3 will appear after starting up the emulator debugger. Here explains the settings in the MCU tab and Clock tab in the Init dialog box. The dialog box shown below is an example of the emulator debugger M3T-PD77 V.4.00 Release 1.
(2) Setting CLOCK Tab Note on Setting XCIN Pin: • When using P31/XCIN pin as a sub-clock, set the SW1 switch to the "XCIN" side. For details on the switch settings of the emulation pod, see "3.2 Switch Settings" (page 23).
4.4 Starting Up Emulator Debugger - Part 2 (Setting EMEM Dialog) The EMEM dialog box will appear after the settings in the Init dialog box by starting up the emulator debugger or downloading the firmware. Here explains how to set the processor mode of the target MCU, allocate the emulation memory and set the debug monitor area.
(3) Setting Debug Monitor Tab Note on Monitor Work Area: • Be sure to specify an area which can be read and written into as a monitor area. In the monitor area 6 bytes of operation codes used in the emulator system are stored. If these operation codes are rewritten, the emulator system will not work properly.
• Check the connection of the emulation pod and the PC4701. • Redownload the proper firmware. • Check if the switches in this product is set same as the factory-setting (see "3.2 Switch Settings" on page 23). Note on the Self-check: CAUTION •...
