      (1)Supporting the M32C/80, 84, and 85 group MCUs; and the M16C/70 group MCUs coming with 772-KB ROM.

    1.2 Problems Fixed
    The following known problems have been fixed:
    (1)On designating an interrupt generation as an event at setting a hardware breakpoint or trace point (in the M3T-PD308F only):
    When an interrupt generation is designated as an event in the Hardware Breakpoint Setting or Trace Point Setting window, the specified hardware breakpoint or trace point cannot perform its function.
    For details, see MAEC TOOL NEWS "A Note on Emulator Debugger M3T-PD308F" issued on November 16, 2002.
    (2)On downloading ELF/DWARF2.0-formated object files (in the M3T-PD308F and M3T-PD308 only):
    When the symbol information of ELF/DWARF2.0-formated object files created by the EWM32C C/C++ compiler is being downloaded, the compiler may be terminated abnormally.
    For details, see MAEC TOOL NEWS "A Note on Using Emulator Debuggers M3T-PD308F V.2.00 Release 1 and M3T-PD308 V.4.00 Release 1" issued on February 1, 2003.
    (3)On using the MR STK command (in the M3T-PD308F and M3T-PD30F only):
    Measuring a task's stack usage by using the "MR STK, SYS" or "MR STK, TSK" command brings an incorrect result.
    (4)On using the Coverage window, the CV FUNC, and the CV TOTAL command (in the M3T-PD308F and M3T-PD30F only):
    Coverage measurement results may incorrectly be displayed when the Coverage window, the CV FUNC, and the CV TOTAL command are used.
    For details of (3) and (4), see MAEC TOOL NEWS "Notes on Using Emulator Debuggers M3T-PD308F and M3T-PD30F" issued on March 1, 2003.
    (5)On using the MR trace window (in the M3T-PD30F only):
    When the MR trace window is opened to display the execution history of a task, the error message saying "The interrupt handler has issued a system call that can only be issued from tasks." may appear, resulting in the incorrect execution history being displayed.
    For details, see RENESAS TOOL NEWS "A Note on Using Emulator Debugger M3T-PD30F V.1.00 Release 1" issued on April 1, 2003.
