A Note on Using the Debuggers
for the R8C/Tiny MCU Series


Please take note of the following problem in using the debuggers for the R8C/Tiny MCU series:
  • With using the IO files for the R8C/2A, /2B, /2C, and /2D groups included in the debuggers for the R8C/Tiny MCU Series


1. Products and Versions Concerned
   M16C R8C PC7501 Emulator Debugger V.1.03 Release 00
   M16C R8C Compact Emulator Debugger V.1.03 Release 00
   M16C R8C FoUSB/UART Debugger V.1.03 Release 00
   M16C R8C Simulator Debugger V.1.03 Release 00
   E8a Emulator Software V.1.00 Release 00 through V.1.01 Release 00
   E8 Emulator Software V.2.09 Release 02 through V.2.11 Release 00

2. Descriptions
   Incorrect descriptions are found in the IO files for the R8C/2A, /2B, 
   /2C, and /2D MCU groups included in the above products.
   Due to these incorrect descriptions, the name of the mode register for 
   UART2 is expressed as UART0 in the IO windows on each debugger.

3. Workaround
   Use the problem-fixed IO files. The procedures of how to obtain them 
   and substitute them for the previous files are as follows:
   
   (1) Download the problem-fixed and compressed IO file R8C2xIO.zip 
       (38 KB) from the Web page at 
         http://tool-support.renesas.com/eng/toolnews/080616/R8C2xIO.zip
       This page will be opened on and after July 4.
   (2) Decompress the downloaded file.
   (3) With the decompressed file, overwrite the file with the same name 
       under the folder where High-performance Embedded Workshop resides.
       For instance, if the IDE has been installed in the folder
            C:\Program Files\Renesas\Hew
       the IO file for each debugger will be found in the folder following 
       the debugger's name listed below.
            - M16C R8C PC7501 Emulator Debugger
              C:\Program Files\Renesas\Hew\Tools\Renesas\DebugComp\Platform\PDTarget\PD30F\IO Files
            - M16C R8C Compact Emulator Debugger 
              C:\Program Files\Renesas\Hew\Tools\Renesas\DebugComp\Platform\PDTarget\PD30MF\IO Files
            - M16C R8C FoUSB/UART Debugger 
              C:\Program Files\Renesas\Hew\Tools\Renesas\DebugComp\Platform\PDTarget\KD30\IO Files
            - M16C R8C Simulator Debugger 
              C:\Program Files\Renesas\Hew\Tools\Renesas\DebugComp\Platform\PDTarget\PD30SIM\IO Files
            - E8a Emulator Software
              C:\Program Files\Renesas\Hew\Tools\Renesas\DebugComp\platform\E8a\E8aR8C\IOFiles
            - E8 Emulator Software 
              C:\Program Files\Renesas\Hew\Tools\Renesas\DebugComp\Platform\E8\E8R8C\IOFiles

4. Schedule of Fixing the Problem
   We plan to fix this problem in the next release of those debuggers.
