A Note on Using Emulation Pods
for the M16C/60 Series MCUs

Please take note of the following problem in using the emulation pods listed below (each of these pods is used in combination with the PC4701 emulator):

  2. Description
    If your emulation pod is used in memory expansion or microprocessor mode, and "External" is selected at memory mapping* to the area used as a stack, the data values in register R0 and at address 0000Ah become indefinite after debug operations such as stopping the user program, referencing memory, and changing memory.

    * Selections at memory mapping
    Internal:Emulation memory of an emulation pod used.
    External:Memory on the target board or resources of an evaluation MCU used.


  3. Workaround
    Select "Internal" at memory mapping to the area used as a stack.
    If "External" selected, only program execution will be available in debug operations.


  4. Schedule of Fixing the Problem
    We plan to fix this problem in our next release of the M3T-PD30 emulator debugger, but it is unnecessary to fix the emulation pods concerned.
