| The Beta Versions of USB drivers
(for Renesas Emulators) Compatible
with the 64-Bit Edition of
Microsoft Windows(R) 7 Released |
We have released the beta versions of USB drivers compatible with the
64-bit edition of Microsoft Windows(R) 7. By using these drivers, you can
run Renesas emulator debuggers, which are incompatible themselves with
the 64-bit edition of Windows(R) 7, on this OS.
The beta versions of the drivers are released for you to evaluate them
by operating them on the 64-bit edition of Windows(R) 7 so that we can
incorporate the results of your evaluation into future production of
emulator debuggers.
So, if you have any suggestions for improving the operations of emulator
debuggers, let us know them through:
