    The IECUBE2 is an in-circuit emulator for V850E2M microcontroller. Hardware and software can be debugged efficiently in the development of systems in which the target device is used. This manual describes general information of IECUBE2 main unit. Please refer to user’s manual of each POD for detail usage.

  • Page 8: Hardware Specification

    QB-V850E2 1.GENERAL Hardware Specification The following table describes hardware specifications of IECUBE2 main. Table 1-1. IECUBE2 Hardware Specifications Parameter Specification Operating temperature range 0 to 40°C (No condensation) −15 to 60°C (No condensation) Storage temperature range AC adapter power consumption...

  • Page 9: System Overview

    1.GENERAL System Overview The system configuration is described as below. IECUBE2 can not be used alone. POD, AC adapter and sockets are needed to use. These are sold separately. To use IECUBE2, refer to the user’s manual of each POD.

  • Page 10: Functional Overview

    1.GENERAL Functional Overview IECUBE2 is provided with a wealth of debug functions to enable efficient program debugging, in addition to being used to emulate the operation of a target device. An overview of the functions is provided in this section.
  • Page 11 QB-V850E2 1.GENERAL (1) Hardware break function The hardware break function is used to observe the CPU bus cycles and set a break for a specific fetch or access operation. For example, a break can be set by detecting a state where an address has been executed or a variable has been accessed.

  • Page 12: Trace Function (Program Execution History)

    QB-V850E2 1.GENERAL 1.3.4 Trace function (program execution history) The trace function can be used to check the CPU execution history (trace). Items (1) to (7) can be recorded in the execution history. （1） Program counter (PC) of branch source and branch destination The PCs of a branch source and a branch destination can be recorded in the history.

  • Page 13: Time Measurement Function

    QB-V850E2 1.GENERAL （7） Recording histories before and after specific phenomenon has occurred (delay trigger trace) The history after a specific phenomenon has occurred can be recorded by using the event function (1.3.6 Event function (specific CPU operation detection)) in combination. This is similar to being able to observe a signal waveform by assuming an edge as a trigger, when using an oscilloscope to observe a signal.

  • Page 14: Event Link Function (Event Combinations)

    QB-V850E2 1.GENERAL （3） Access event An access event is detected when an address has been accessed (read or written). The following detection conditions can be specified for an access event. Up to six accesses event points can be specified, but if the access address has been specified as a range, two points will be consumed.

  • Page 16: Ac Adaptor

    1.GENERAL AC adaptor The specifications of the AC adapter for IECUBE2 differ depending on the region of use. Be sure to use an AC adapter corresponding to the region of use. The IECUBE2 is not provided with an AC adapter. It must be purchased separately.

  • Page 17: Chapter 2 Names And Functions Of Hardware

    IECUBE2 main is unit that controls debugging. (2) POD POD is sold separately. POD is IECUBE2 peripheral to interface with the target system. This unit is equipped with the major features for emulating the real device. Please refer to user’s manual of POD for details.
  • Page 18 This LED turns on when the target system is turned on. (4) POD cable This coaxial cable is used to connect the IECUBE2 main unit and emulation POD. The cable length is shown below. Be careful not to excessively bend this cable because doing so might break the cable.

  • Page 19: Stick For Unplugging Ea From Pod

    QB-V850E2 2.NAMES AND FUNCTIONS HARDWARE Stick for unplugging EA from POD The stick as following figure is used to unplug Exchange Adapter (EA) from POD. Figure 2-2. Stick for unplugging EA from POD To unplug EA from POD, insert the stick in a corner of POD and slightly push up POD. Stick (Exchange Adapter) Do the same thing in other corners as below.

  • Page 20: Chapter 3 Notes

    A time stamp of trace function does not indicate the instruction execution time/cycle count. A time stamp indicates a time IECUBE2 main received the trace data from a debug chip in POD. The output timing of the trace data is a little different from the instruction execution time/cycle. And in case of including more than one trace data per execution, such as access address and access data, some errors may be observed by FIFO queuing.

  • Page 21: Chapter 4 Optional Product

    4.1.1 General The QB-V850E2-SP is a trace memory extension for IECUBE2. This option product cannot be used by the Integrated Development Environment for RENESAS microcontrollers, and it can be used by Integrated Development Environment Multi by U.S. Green Hills Software. Please make sure the supported version of debugger software.
