Precautions

Please take note of the following problem in using simulator debuggers and emulator debuggers for the M16C family of microcomputers:
  • On referencing register variables of 32 bits in length


  1. Versions Concerned
    All the versions of the following products are concerned.
    1.1 Simulator Debuggers
    For the M16C/80 series MCUs: PD308SIM
    For the M16C/60 and /20 series MCUs: PD30SIM

    1.2 Emulator Debuggers
    For the M16C/80 series MCUs: PD308
    For the M16C/60 and /20 series MCUs : PD30
    : PDB30 (spare/repair only)
    : XDB30 (spare/repair only)

    1.3 Emulator Debuggers Dedicated to the Compact Emulator
    For M30800T-CPE: PD308M
    For M30620T-CPE: PD30M


  2. Description
    When referencing register variables of 32 bits in length in the C Watch and Local windows and the print command, their values cannot correctly be displayed.


  3. Workaround
    The value of register variables of 32 bits long can be checked any of the following ways:
    (1) Display the program in MIX mode in the Program or Source window and confirm two registers, which the 32-bit variable stored in, from assembler code.
    (2) Read the value of each register in (1) in the Register window.
    (3) Generate a 32-bit value from the two registers.


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