A Note on Emulators M32100T2-SDI-E, M32100T-SDI-E, and M32170T-SDI
|
Please take note of the following problem in using emulators M32100T2-SDI-E, M32100T-SDI-E, and M32170T-SDI for the M32R family MCUs.
- On turning on the power supply to the target MCU after turning it off once
- Products Concerned
- (1) M32100T2-SDI-E for the 32102/32121/3217x group MCUs in the M32R/E series
- (2) M32100T-SDI-E and M32170T-SDI for the 32102/32121/3217x group MCUs in the M32R/E series that were upgraded according to MESC TOOL NEWS "M32100T-SDI-E, M32170T-SDI, M32120T-SDI Upgraded Versions Announcement" issued on December 16, 2000.
- Notes:
- 1. All the upgraded products described above bear the letter "B" at the end of their serial numbers.
- 2. Both the product types have been dropped from production.
- Description
- While your emulator is running, turning on the power supply to the target MCU after turning it off once causes the target program to be improperly executed.
- Note:
This problem is related to "on-the-fly" debugging functions supported by emulator debugger M3T-PD32R V.2.10 Release 1. For details of these functions, see the MESC TOOL NEWS "M32100T-SDI-E, M32170T-SDI, M32120T-SDI Upgraded Versions Announcement" described above in item (2) of Section 1.
- Conditions
- This problem occurs if the following four conditions are satisfied:
- (1) The target MCU is any one of the following:
- In the M32R/E series:
All 32102 group MCUs
All 32120 group MCUs
All 32121 group MCUs
- In the M32R/ECU series:
M3217xFxVWG
- In the M32R/I series:
All MCUs
- (2) Emulator debugger M3T-PD32R V.2.10 Release 1 is used.
- Notes:
1. Custom products later than V.2.10 Release 1 are not concerned.
2. The products earlier than V.2.10 Release 1 do not support "on-the-fly" debugging functions, so they are also not concerned.
- (3) The emulator is operated without the SDI trace interface cable being connected to it.
- (4) The power supply to the target MCU is turned on again after it was turned off.
- Workaround
Please use the problem-eliminated firmware.
Notice: Don't use the problem-eliminated firmware for M3T-PD32R V.2.00 Release 2 and earlier since they are not concerned with this problem.
You can get the problem-eliminated firmware as follows:
(1) Download the firmware file(file name:m32rsdi0.zip, 191KB).
(2) Decompress the downloaded file.
(3) Copy the decompressed file "m32rsdi0.s" to the folder in which emulator debugger "PD32R.exe" resides.
(4) When M3T-PD32R launched, you see the message saying "We should download new firmware". Then click OK.
- Schedule of Fixing the Problem
We plan to include the problem-eliminated firmware with M3T-PD32R from our next release.
