Chapter 4: Configuring the Emulator
Configuring the Emulator Pod
To set the reset value for the Supervisor Stack
Pointer
• Enter an even address in response to the "Reset value of Supervisor Stack Pointer?"
question.
In order for the emulator to transition into the run state, to step, or to perform other
functions after emulation reset, the supervisor stack pointer must be set to an
appropriate value.
The value specified must be a 32-bit hexadecimal even address. This address
should reside in an otherwise unused emulation or target system RAM area.
Upon the first transition from emulation reset into the emulation monitor, the
supervisor stack pointer register is set to the value specified.
Note that a target system reset that occurs during background monitor operation
will not affect the supervisor stack pointer value.
Note that when you use a foreground monitor, the reset value of the supervisor
stack pointer must be at least six bytes away from a guarded memory area. If the
reset value of SSP is not six bytes away from a guarded area, a "Stack is in guarded
memory" error will occur when you attempt to run the program.
