- Descriptions of Revision
- 2.1 Functions Introduced
- The following functions have been introduced:
| (1) |
Supporting emulators for the M16C/60, M16C/30, M16C/20, M16C/10, M16C/Tiny, and R8C/Tiny series, M16C family of MCUs
The following emulators for the M16C family can performs
seamless operations of coding, compiling, simulating, and
debugging under the development environment of the
High-performance Embedded Workshop V.4.00.00:
- the PC7501 emulator
- the PC4701 emulator
- the compact emulators
- the FoUSB/UART emulator
|
| (2) |
Displaying a toolbar in the client area within each window
A toolbar with buttons having the same functions as a pop-up menu
is provided in the client area within each window. This toolbar
and their buttons are customizable (for example, switching on and
off of the display of them and the arrangement of the buttons),
which makes operations in each window much easier. |
| (3) |
Displaying disassembling results in the editor
The editor of the High-performance Embedded Workshop V.4
is capable of disassemble display and mix display (display
of disassembling line by line corresponding to the source code
lines) as well as source program display. Those displays can
be switched between them by toolbar buttons. |
| (4) |
Customizing shortcut keys
The function of assigning a shortcut key to a menu item is
available. You can use your accustomed keystrokes as before
in the High-performance Embedded Workshop. |
| (5) |
Adding new sessions
A wizard allows you easily to create new sessions and to add them
to a project. New sessions are also created by importing (copying)
sessions from another file.
Note, however, that the above functions are available only when
you use the tool chain in any compiler package that includes the
High-performance Embedded Workshop V.4. |
| (6) |
Deleting software breakpoints automatically
When the user program is downloaded to the target, all the software
breakpoints are deleted automatically if you specify so. (This
function does not be applied to several types of debugger.) |
- 2.2 Functions Improved
- The following functions have been improved:
| (1) |
Representing addresses in windows and dialog boxes
Addresses are represented in the size of the space allowable
in the target, and the radix in front of address values is omitted.
Example in the target with 16-bit address space
V.3.01.08 and earlier: 0x0000FFFF
V.4.00.00: FFFF
Note, however, that if you update the emulator software component
originally included with any High-performance Embedded Workshop
previous to V.4(hereafter called a previous version), addresses
are represented in the previous format in several types of windows
and dialog boxes.
|
| (2) |
Displaying the menu bars and the toolbars
| - |
The menus on each menu bar have been rearranged, several of
which removed, so that the configuration of menus has become easy to see.
Note, however, that if you update the emulator software
component originally included with any previous version of the
High-performance Embedded Workshop, several menus are placed in
the same position as before. |
| - |
Frequently used toolbars only are displayed (all the toolbars
have hitherto been displayed). | |
| (3) |
Memory window
| - |
Displayed is the register name that contains the values matching
with the label and address of the data item in front of a line
(only in the emulators for the M16C family). |
| - |
The updated data items are highlighted. |
| - |
Displayed is the label of the data item in front of a line and
the register name that contains the values matching with the
address in front of a line.
(only in the emulators for the M16C family). |
| - |
After splitting a window, the original window is restored without
closing the split windows. | |
| (4) |
Register window
| - |
Every flag in the flag register can be set and displayed in bits. |
| - |
Displayed are the contents of the registers in the bank indicated
by the Specify Register Bank flag of the flag register (only in
the emulators for the M16C family and R8C/Tiny series). |
| - |
A radix is specified in each register. |
| - |
After splitting a window, the original window is restored without
closing the split windows. | |
| (5) |
Performing multiple-step execution
At performing multiple-step execution, a mode is added
in which the window is not updated, which allows the execution to
be performed faster than before. |
| (6) |
Path information on the files added to a project
When a file is added to a project, the file is entered using the
relative path to the project by default. So, when a workspace is
copied or moved, files can be searched for using their relative
paths to the project even if the files are not in the directory
where the workspace exists. |
| (7) |
Monitor window (only the emulators for the SuperH and H8 families)
Actual intervals of updates in milliseconds are provided in the
Monitor window. |
| (8) |
Displaying updated windows
The numbers of updates of the buttons on the menu bar and toolbar
and all the windows are optimized, so that screen flickering at
using the editor is reduced. |
| (9) |
Basic performance
The following times reduced: start-up time, closing time, loading
time of the user program, step-execution time, and scanning time
in navigation. |
- 2.3 Problems Fixed
- The following problems have been fixed:
| (1) |
On virtual desktop functions
When virtual desktop functions used, the trace and status windows
in the hidden state are not updated.
|
| (2) |
On buttons not displayed on the toolbar
Consider that the High-performance Embedded Workshop is now
using the language different from the one selected at its
installation. When the workspace created using such a High-performance Embedded Workshop is opened,
the buttons on all the toolbars are not displayed.
In addition, if you update the emulator software component
originally included with any previous version of the High-performance Embedded Workshop,
the toolbars on several windows may not be displayed. |
| (3) |
On making changes to the properties of the Image window
When colors and buffers are changed in the Image Properties
dialog box of the Image window, application errors may arise. |
| (4) |
On the I/O window at resetting the CPU
If the CPU is reset, the caches and the values of the timers are
not updated in this window. |
| (5) |
On automatic execution of command batch files
When "Before download of modules" is selected in the "Command
batch file load timing" list of the Debug Settings dialog box,
and the "Download modules after build" check box is checked,
no command batch file is executed if modules are automatically
downloaded after a build. |
| (6) |
On typing commands in Windows Me
When the High-performance Embedded Workshop is running on
Windows Me, data input through a dialog interface becomes
impossible if the ASSEMBLE or MEMORY_EDIT command is used in
the Command Line window. |
| (7) |
On executing the MEMORY_EDIT command
If the target is disconnected or initialized during executing the
MEMORY_EDIT command, an application error arises. |
| (8) |
On opening windows
In several types of window, they cannot be opened at once by
selecting the menu item or clicking any button on its toolbar. |
| (9) |
On opening the Trace window
In the E200F emulator, which supports more than one Trace window,
no Trace window cannot be opened with the error message "All
supported trace window already opened" being displayed even if no
Trace window has already been opened. |
| (10) |
On displaying a pop-up menu in the Workspace window
| - |
If any file is selected from the project tree in the Workspace
window and an unoccupied area of the window is right-clicked
to display a pop-up menu, the Exclude Build command does not appear. |
| - |
If any project is selected from the project tree in the Workspace
window and an unoccupied area of the window is right-clicked
to display a pop-up menu, the Remove Project command does
not also appear. |

an Integrated Development Environment" issued on January 16, 2005. |
| (11) |
On using the networking function
When the networking function is used, workspaces may not be saved with the message
"Project file 'file.hwp' is invalid; cannot open project" being displayed.
For details, see RENESAS TOOL NEWS "A Note on Using
the High-performance Embedded Workshop--On Using the Network Facilities" issued on December 16, 2004. |
