  1. Descriptions of Upgrade
    1.1 New Features
    (1) Supports the M32C/80 series MCUs (PD308SIM only)
    (2) Supports the trace function of recording and referencing the history of program execution
    (3) Displays the output results of C compiler's standard output function "printf"
    (4) Capable of inputting bits and plural bytes using GUI input function

    1.2 Problems Fixed
    The following known problems have been fixed:
    (1) In the ASM Watch window, modifying memory data using watch points of 2 or 4 bytes wide beginning at an odd address may cause communication protocol errors to occur.
    For details refer to MAEC TOOL NEWS "Precaution in Using Simulator Debuggers for 16-Bit MCUs" issued on Dec. 1, 1999.
    (2) Bit symbols declared as global by the .BTGLB directive in the assembler source program may not be available.
    For details refer to MAEC TOOL NEWS "PD308SIM and PD308 Precaution" issued on Feb. 1, 2000.
    (3) Clicking the MPL button in the MR window may display Windows' error message, forcing termination of the program.
    For details refer to MAEC TOOL NEWS "PD308SIM, PD308, PD30SIM, PD30, PD79SIM, and PD79 Precautions" issued on Jun. 1, 2000.

    (5) In the C Watch, Global, File Local, and Local windows, displaying a structure the names of whose members contain more than 1024 characters in total results in forcing termination of the program.
    For details refer to MAEC TOOL NEWS "PD32RSIM, PD308SIM, PD30SIM, PD79SIM, PD77SIM, PD38SIM, PD32R, PD32000, PD308, PD30, PD79, PD77, PD38, and PD30M Precautions" issued on Oct. 16, 2000.
    (6) When referencing register variables of 32 bits wide in the C Watch and Local windows as well as the print command, their values cannot correctly be displayed.
    For details refer to MAEC TOOL NEWS "PD308SIM, PD30SIM, PD308, PD30, PDB30, XDB30, PD308M, and PD30M Precautions " issued on May 16, 2001.
