A Note on Using
the High-performance Embedded Workshop V.4.00.00

--On Specifying Address Parameters in HDI Commands--

Please take note of the following problem in using the High-performance Embedded Workshop V.4.00.00, an integrated development environment:
  • On specifying address parameters in HDI* commands
    * Hitachi Debugging Interface


  1. Product and Version Concerned
    The High-performance Embedded Workshop V.4.00.00

    To check for the version number of your High-performance Embedded Workshop, open the Help menu and select the About High-performance Embedded Workshop command.


  2. Description
    If the address parameters of the HDI commands hdi assemble, hdi memread, and hdi memwrite are set to 0x80000000 or greater in a CPU with 32-bit memory space, the problems explained below arise.

    (1) In the hdi assemble command
    Command syntax: hdi assemble <address> <instruction>
    Problem: If the address parameter is set to 0x80000000 or greater, 
            the result of assembling the instruction parameter cannot 
            be prpvided.
    Example: hdi assemble 0x80000000 NOP
    (2) In the hdi memread command
    Command syntax: hdi memread <space> <address> <count> <size>
    Problem: If the address parameter is set to 0x80000000 or greater, 
            data cannot be read from memory.
    Example: hdi memread 0 0x80000000 1 1
    (3)In the hdi memwrite command
    Command syntax: hdi memwrite <space> <address> <size> <data>
    Problem: If the address parameter is set to 0x80000000 or greater, 
            data cannot be written into memory.
    Example: hdi memwrite 0 0x80000000 1 1


  3. Workaround
    Don't set the address parameters of the HDI commands hdi assemble, hdi memread, and hdi memwrite to 0x80000000 or greater in a CPU with 32-bit memory space.


  4. Schedule of Fixing the Problem
    We plan to fix this problem in our next release of the product.
