   The M3028BT2-CPE, used for the M16C/26A, M16C/28, and M16C/29 groups, 
   is a compact emulator provided with real-time trace capabilities. It 
   supports MCUs operating at frequencies up to 24 MHz maximum.

   With the product package are included such software tools as 
   an integrated development environment, a C compiler (evaluation 
   version), an emulator debugger, so you can start developing and 
   debugging your application programs immediately after getting 
   and unpacking the product.

   The features of the product are as follows:
   (1) Fundamental debugging capabilities much enhanced.
   (2) Real-time trace capabilities supported.
   (3) Compactly designed in size.
   (4) Economical-priced.
   (5) Software tools for programming and debugging included.
   (6) USB 1.1 (full-speed) supported as the interface with the PC. 
       (Also can be connected to host machines equipped with the USB 2.0 
       interface.)

Notices After starting marketing of the M3028BT2-CPE, we have discontinued marketing of the M30290T2-CPE. So, for the customers who are using it, we are going to upgrade it to an equivalent of the M3028BT2-CPE (the maximum operating frequency of target MCUs extended from 20 MHz to 24 MHz) with additional charge. When we are ready to upgrade your M30290T-EPB, we will inform you of it on our tool news. If you request us to repair or check your M30290T2-CPE, we will upgrade it to an equivalent of the M3028BT2- CPE after repairing or checking it. So if you don't need this upgrade, please let us know of it explicitly in writing.
