Renesas PC7501 User Manual page 6

Terminology
Some specific words used in this user's manual are defined as follows:
PC7501 system
This means the emulator system built around the emulator PC7501. This emulator system is
configured with the emulator PC7501, an emulation probe M3xxxxTx-EPB, an emulator debugger
M3TPDxxF, and a host machine.
Host machine
This means a personal computer where the emulator debugger M3T-PDxxF runs to control the
emulator PC7501.
Emulation probe
An emulation probe is provided for each MCU Series or MCU and it emulates the operation of
each MCU characteristic. The emulation probe M3xxxxTx-EPB for the emulator PC7501 adopts
the evaluation MCU method of equipping the inside of the emulation probe with evaluation MCU.
Emulator debugger
This means a software tool, M3T-PDxxF to control the emulator PC7501 from a personal
computer through an interface.
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.
At startup, the emulator debugger M3T-PDxxF checks the configuration of the emulator PC7501
and emulation probe M3xxxxTx-EPB, and downloads the appropriate firmware when it is neces-
sary.
Target MCU
A target MCU means the MCU you are going to debug.
Target system
A target system means a user's application system using the MCU to be debugged.
