Terminology
Some specific words used in this user's manual are defined as follows:
• Emulator system
This means an emulator system built around the PC7501 emulator. The PC7501 emulator system is configured with an
emulator main unit, emulation probe, host machine and emulator debugger.
• Emulator main unit (Hereafter PC7501)
This means an emulator main unit for M16C Family MCUs.
• Emulation probe
This means the emulation probe (this product) for the M32C/8B Group MCUs.
• Emulator debugger (M32C PC7501 Emulator Debugger or M3T-PD308F)
This means a software tool to control the PC7501 emulator and this product and enable debugging.
• Firmware
Program that analyzes contents of communication with the emulator debugger and controls the emulator hardware. This
program is installed in the flash memory in the emulator main unit. This program is downloadable from the emulator debugger
to upgrade the firmware or to support other MCUs.
• Host machine
This means a personal computer used to control the emulator main unit and emulation probe.
• Software break
A software break is a function to break the program before the system executes an instruction at the specified address. The
instruction at the preset address will not be executed.
• Hardware break
A hardware break is a function to break the program when the system detects a write/read of data to/from memory or a
leading/trailing edge of the signal entered from the external trace cable. The former break function is called address break; and
the latter break function is called trigger break. While the instruction at the address where the software break is set is not
executed, a hardware break is performed after the specified instruction is executed.
• Target MCU
This means the MCU to be debugged.
• User system
This means a user's application system in which the MCU to be debugged is used.
• User program
This means the program to be debugged.
• Evaluation MCU
This means the MCU mounted on the emulator which is operated in a dedicated mode for use with tools.
• #
This symbol indicates that a signal is active-low (e.g. RESET#).
