A Note on Using the Simulator Debuggers
for the SuperH RISC Engine; and the H8, H8S, and H8SX Families

Please take note of a problem encountered in using the simulator debugger for the SuperH RISC engine family and the one for the H8, H8S and H8SX families in the same host system.

  1. Products and Versions Concerned
    (1) Simulator debugger for the SuperH RISC engine family Ver.9.0.00 and later
    These simulator debuggers are included with the C/C++ compiler package for the SuperH RISC engine family V.7.1.03 and later.
    (2) Simulator debugger for the H8S and H8/300 series Ver.5.0.00 and later
    These simulator debuggers are included with the C/C++ compiler package for the H8, H8S, and H8SX families V.5.0.05 and later.


    To check for the version number of your simulator debugger, follow these steps:
    (1) In the High-performance Embedded Workshop, open the Tool menu and select the Administration command. The Tool Administration dialog box appears.
    (2) Select the name of your simulator debugger in the Registered Components list and click the Properties button. The Property dialog box opens.
    (3) Click the Information tab, and you see the version number of yours.


  2. Description
    In the host system where both the simulator debuggers concerned are installed, selecting either of them and displaying the Simulator System dialog box may provide the message "?????????."
