Firmware This means a program that controls the hardware of the PC7501 system by decoding the contents of communication with the emulator debugger M3T-PDxxF. This program is contained in EEPROM on the emulator PC7501's inside board.
Chapter 1 Precautions for Safety This chapter describes the handling precautions to be followed when using the emulator PC7501. For precautions on using the emulator debugger M3T-PDxxF and emulation probe M3xxxxTx-EPB, refer to each user's manual (or Online Help) of them.
WARNING Warnings for AC Power Supply: • If the attached AC power cable does not fit the receptacle, do not alter the AC power cable and do not plug it forcibly. Failure to comply may cause electric shock and/or fire. •...
• Use only the AC adapter included in this product package. • The included AC adapter is for PC7501. Do not use it for other product. • Before installing this equipment or connecting it to other equipment, disconnect the AC power cable from its outlet to prevent injury or accident.
• Do not turn off the power when executing the self-check or downloading firmware. If the emulator PC7501 is powered off in the middle of a process, it will become unable to start up normally. In cases when the power is inadvertently shut off, re-execute the self-check or downloading.
IMPORTANT Note for LPT Parallel Interface: • With the LPT parallel interface of the PC7501, not all host machines will work and are guaranteed. According to the specifications and settings of the host machine, some operation modes of the LPT parallel port cannot be used.
2.3 PC7501 System Configuration 2.3.1 Host Machine The PC7501 system uses a personal computer (IBM PC/AT or compatible) as a host machine to control the emulator PC7501 by the emulator debugger M3T-PDxxF. 2.3.2 Emulator PC7501 The PC7501 is an emulator for Renesas MCUs. The emulator PC7501 has LED indicators on its upper panel to indicate the status of the target MCU and the conditions of the emulator.
3.1 Names and Functions of Parts on the Upper Panel Figure 3.1 shows the name and function of each switch and indicator on the upper panel of the emulator PC7501. Figure 3.1 Front panel of the emulator PC7501 17 / 46...
The status of LEDs on the upper panel when the PC7501 emulator system has been started up normally is shown in Figure 3.2 below. Check this when you actually start up the emulator system.
Note for Clock: • When the CLOCK LED does not blink, check the following conditions: (1) Immediately after starting up the emulator PC7501 Make sure that the oscillation circuit in the emulator is oscillating normally. (2) Immediately after starting up the emulator debugger (when the setting in the Init...
3.2.5 Power Supply Switch The power switch of the emulator PC7501 is used to turn the power on and off. Push the switch to the right position (facing the rear panel) to turn on; push the switch to the left position to turn off.
If you do not press the switch within two seconds after power-on, the emulator PC7501 and the target MCU are initialized directly, and ready to accept command input for the emulator debugger M3T-PDxxF.
3.3.2 External Trigger Signal Input/Event Output Connectors For the external trigger signal input/event output connector, insert the external trigger signal input/ event output cable shown in Figure 3.6. The external trigger signal input/event output cable is a 9-pin cable, inputs the external trigger signal, and outputs the break signal and event signal. The external trigger signal input/event output signal is input/output at CMOS (LVCC3245) level.
Before you run the self-check, you must have the emulation probe. IMPORTANT Before making connections, be sure to turn OFF the power to the emulator PC7501 and the host machine. 4.1 Connecting AC Adapter The power is supplied from AC adapter to the emulator PC7501.
4.2 Connecting Host Machine When connecting the emulator PC7501 to a host machine, you can choose your desired interface from LPT parallel interface, USB interface and LAN interface. Use the interface selection switch on the emulator PC7501's rear panel to specify your desired interface.
Connect the emulation probe and the target system. See the user's manual of the emulation probe Turn ON the power to the host machine and then turn ON the power of the PC7501 and the target system as simultaneously as possible.
Connect the emulation probe and the target system. See the user's manual of the emulation probe Turn ON the power to the host machine and then turn ON the power of the PC7501 and the target system as simultaneously as possible.

In incorporating the emulator PC7501 in a network that does not include the host machine, you need to register the IP address of the gateway from the network in which the emulator PC7501 is incorporated to the network in which the host machine is incorporated. You register the IP address of the gateway by means of either step 1 described in "(1) Using the emulator debugger...

4.3 Connecting Emulation Probe M3xxxxTx-EPB The procedure for connecting the emulation probe to the emulator PC7501 is shown below. Turn OFF the power to the emulator PC7501. Connect the converter board M3T-FLX160-EPB of the PC7501 to the emulation probe M3xxxxTx-EPB.
Set the interface selection switch on the rear panel to "LPT". Connect the LPT parallel interface cable to the emulator PC7501 and the host machine. Within 2 seconds of activating power to the emulator PC7501, press the RESET switch on the front panel.
4.5 Self-check IMPORTANT The self-check is a function to check the memory and other conditions of the emulator PC7501's internal circuit boards. This function can only be executed after the emulator PC7501 is connected to an emulation probe. IMPORTANT When executing the self-check, be sure to disconnect the target system.
By the device manager, check the USB driver (musbdrv.sys) is recognized by the host machine. □ Is the PC7501 interface selection switch on the rear panel of the PC7501 set to "USB"? 3.2.1 Interface Selection Switch (P.20) □ Is the USB interface cable connected correctly to both the PC7501 and host machine? 4.2.2 Connecting by USB Interface (P.27)
PC/EWS on the network to which the PC7501 is connected. If no reply is received, check the network setting of the host machine. □ If the PC7501 and host machine are set to separate networks, is a gateway set in the OS? (192.168.1.254 in the figure below) □...
(1) Set the interface selection switch on the rear panel to "LPT". Then, connect the LPT parallel interface cable to the emulator PC7501 and host machine. (2) Within 2 seconds of activating power to the emulator PC7501, press the RESET switch on the front panel to change its mode to maintenance mode.
