CHAPTER 2 SETUP PROCEDURE CHAPTER 2 SETUP PROCEDURE This chapter explains the QB-RL78L1C setup procedure. Setup can be completed by performing installation setup in the order in which it appears in this chapter. Perform setup along the lines of the following procedure.
Check the user's manual for the debugger that will be used. 2.2 Clock Settings The QB-RL78L1C clock must be set to the clock used by the target device. For details about how to set the clock, check the user's manual for the debugger that will be used.
Page 20
The clock generated from the oscillator mounted on the emulator is used. The selectable frequencies are same as those of the target device. To modify the clock setting, the acrylic board on the bottom of the QB-RL78L1C must be removed. The acrylic board can be removed by lifting it up.
Page 21
QB-RL78L1C In-Circuit Emulator CHAPTER 2 SETUP PROCEDURE Figure 2-1. Acrylic Board Removal Method Note As an oscillator to be mounted in the OSC1 socket in the emulator, use the one that satisfies the following specifications. - Supply voltage: 5.0 V - Output level: CMOS Note An oscillation circuit that uses a resonator cannot be used.
Page 22
QB-RL78L1C In-Circuit Emulator CHAPTER 2 SETUP PROCEDURE (2) Internal high-speed oscillation clock This method uses the clock inside the emulator by configuring the use of the high-speed oscillation clock in the user program. (3) Internal low-speed oscillation clock This method uses the clock inside the emulator by configuring the use of the low-speed oscillation clock in the user program.
CHAPTER 2 SETUP PROCEDURE 2.3 Mounting and Connecting Connectors This section describes the methods of connecting the QB-RL78L1C and target system. Make connections with both the QB-RL78L1C and target system powered OFF. The following abbreviations are used in this section:...
QB-RL78L1C In-Circuit Emulator CHAPTER 2 SETUP PROCEDURE 2.3.2 Mounting YQ to NQ (1) After confirming that there are no broken or bent YQ contact pins, fit the YQ in the NQ and fasten it using the supplied YQGUIDE (for the fastening method, see the next step, (2)). If repeatedly inserting and removing, be sure to inspect the YQ pins before fitting.
QB-RL78L1C In-Circuit Emulator CHAPTER 2 SETUP PROCEDURE 2.3.4 Precautions for handling NQ, YQ, SA, and CA (1) When taking the NQ from the box, press down on the body and take out the sponge first. (2) Since the pins of the YQ are thin and easily bent, be careful. When inserting it in the NQ, confirm that there are no bent pins.
QB-RL78L1C In-Circuit Emulator CHAPTER 2 SETUP PROCEDURE 2.3.5 Precautions for mounting IC using NQ and MA (1) Confirm that there is no weld flash in the resin (sealant part) of the IC. If there is weld flash, remove it using a knife or the like.
There are three GND wires in the emulation probe. Connect them to the QB-RL78L1C and target system. <1> Fasten the GND wire on the QB-RL78L1C side of the emulation probe to the nut on the bottom of the QB-RL78L1C using a #0 or #1 Phillips precision screwdriver (connection of B to A in Figure 2-6).
Page 28
QB-RL78L1C In-Circuit Emulator CHAPTER 2 SETUP PROCEDURE Figure 2-6. GND Wire QB-RL78L1C Target system <3> Connect the YQ connector and the exchange adapter to the target connector (D in Figure 2-6). <4> Connect the emulation probe to the exchange adapter (connection of E to F in Figure 2-6).
Page 29
<2> Be sure to connect the GND wire of the emulation probe to the QB-RL78L1C and the target system. If it cannot be connected, the impedance of the cable is unstable and could bring about lowering of signal transmission characteristics or distortion of the output waveform for an input waveform.
Plug the USB interface cable supplied with the QB-RL78L1C into the USB connector of the host machine, and plug the other side into the USB connector on the rear of the QB-RL78L1C. Plug the AC adapter into the power supply connector on the rear of the QB-RL78L1C and plug the other side into a receptacle.
QB-RL78L1C In-Circuit Emulator CHAPTER 3 SETTINGS AT PRODUCT SHIPMENT CHAPTER 3 SETTINGS AT PRODUCT SHIPMENT Table 3-1. Settings at Shipment Item Setting Remarks Note Not mounted Oscillator can be mounted OSC1 Power switch Set to OFF at shipment. Note The oscillation circuit using an oscillation cannot be used.
When debugging is performed by connecting the QB-RL78L1C to the target system, the QB-RL78L1C emulates the target device as if it operates in the target system. However, the target device and the QB-RL78L1C operate differently in the following ways. Consequently, the target device should be used for final evaluation before launching mass production, and the customer is to be responsible for judging the appropriateness of applying the QB-RL78L1C.

QB-RL78L1C In-Circuit Emulator CHAPTER 4 CAUTIONS - UREGC pin voltage levels (RL78/L1C only) UREGC pin voltage level on QB-RL78L1C differs from the target device. Target device: 3.3V QB-RL78L1C: Open - TTL input buffer characteristics If the port input mode register (PIM) is used to set the input of a pin that can be set for the TTL buffer to the TTL level, the high-level input voltage characteristics differs from that of the target device.

- D- pull-up is enabled when using the low-speed operation. - Operating voltage of USB battery charging detection (RL78/L1C only) Operation voltage of USB battery charging detection on QB-RL78L1C differs from the target device. Target device: Operation voltage is proportional to UVBUS voltage levels because it is generated by the supply voltage of UVBUS pin.

- Capacitor which is mounted on user system when LCD controller/driver is used The following capacitors are mounted on QB-RL78L1C internal circuit. Because of this, terminal characteristic on QB-RL78L1C is slightly different from target device. Mounting point: Between VL1 and GND terminals, Between VL2 and GND terminals,...
After power application, a program will be executed for the target device mounted in the target system when reset is released. However, with the QB-RL78L1C, the program does not start until an operation to start execution is performed after the program is downloaded using the debugger.
