A Note on Using
the SuperH RISC Engine Simulator Debugger |
Please take note of the following problem in using the SuperH RISC engine simulator debugger:
- On the number of execution cycles
- Versions Concerned
- Versions of the SuperH RISC engine simulator debugger:
- V.9.04.00 and earlier
(The products with these version numbers are included with the C/C++ compiler packages for the SuperH RISC engine family V.9.00 Release 02 and earlier.)
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 Properties dialog box opens. |
| (3) |
Click the Information tab, and you see the version number of yours. |
- Description
If you select any of the simulators shown below out of the Target list in the Debug Settings dialog box,* create a new project, and execute a user program without saving the session, you will obtain an incorrect value of execution cycles.
- SH-4 Simulator
- SH-4 Simulator (Little endian)
- SH-4 (SH7750R) Simulator
- SH-4 (SH7750R) Simulator (Little endian)
| * |
To see the Debug Settings dialog box, open the Debug menu and select the Debug Settings command. |
- Workaround
When you create a new project, save the session once and then reload it by performing the following steps in the High-performance Embedded Workshop:
| (1) |
Open the File menu and select the Save Session command. The session will be saved. |
| (2) |
Open the File menu and select the Refresh Session command.
The session will be reloaded. |
- Schedule of Fixing the Problem
We plan to fix this problem in the SuperH RISC engine simulator debugger V.9.05.00.
