The following caution has been fixed.
If a program is stopped with all the following conditions satisfied while the CPU clock is operating as a high-speed system clock,
low-speed on-chip oscillator clock, or subsystem clock, a communications error occurs between the emulator and MCU.
Subsequently, the debugging tool no longer operates correctly.
- Condition 1: The middle-speed on-chip oscillator clock is selected as the main on-chip oscillator clock.
(Bit 0 (MCM1) in the system clock control register (CKC) of the MCU is set to 1.)
- Condition 2: The middle-speed on-chip oscillator clock is stopped.
(Bit 1 (MIOEN) in the clock operation status control register (CSC) of the MCU is set to 0.)
Changes from V3.03.00 to V4.00.00 (Jan. 20, 2017)

2. Improvement to the build tool
2.1 Fix of the note
The following caution was raised.
- The Property Setting of the V850 Compiler (CA850) for the Address Where the Programmable I/O Area Starts
When the project is opened by this version, the [Programmable I/O area start address] property becomes blank.
So please specify the address again when the address was specified in this property.
It is not necessary to specify the address when this property was blank.
3. Improvements to the debugging tool
3.1 Fix of the note
The following caution was raised.
- Using the P125/KR1/SI01/RESET and P11/ANI17/SI00/RxD0/SDA00 pins of the IECUBE for RL78/G12 group
(1)P125/KR1/SI01/RESET pin
When the P125/KR1/SI01/RESET pin is used for any of its multiplexed functions,
the on-chip pull-up resistor always becomes ineffective.
(2)P11/ANI17/SI00/RxD0/SDA00 pin
The P11/ANI17/SI00/RxD0/SDA00 pin is not usable for the P11, SI00, RxD0, and SDA00 functions.

settings return to their initial values and the mode settings from the source for duplication are not copied.
(R20TS0023EJ0100)

3. Improvements to the debugging tool
3.1 Removal of point for caution when using an on-chip debugging emulator while the sub-system clock of certain RL78 family
products is operating
The following caution was raised.
- After the setting “System” is made for [Monitor clock] in [Clock] on the [Connect Settings] tab of the property panel of
the debugging tool, a communications error may arise between the emulator and MCU so that the debugging tool does not
operate correctly when a program is stopped while the sub-system clock is operating.
