Upgraded Version Announcement

Mitsubishi announces that emulator debugger PD16 for the M16 family of microcomputers has been upgraded to PD16 V.1.20 Release 1.



Product Summary
PD16 V.1.20 Release 1 is an emulator debugger that controls emulators PC4901HS, PC4901L, PC4900H, and PC4900L for the M16 family of microcomputers.

Descriptions of Upgrading
The previous version (PDB16 V.1.10 Release 1) has been upgraded as follows:

  1. Extended Functions
    1. Supporting communications with LAN
      LAN has been added to the communications interface with PC4901HS/PC4901L.
    2. Supporting long file names
      Long file names can be used to save and download files.
  2. Modified functions
    The following functions have been modified to remove each problem they come with:
    1. C watch window and local window
      Problem: In the C watch and local windows, data is represented in 32 bits wide when there is no value within a range where variables of type signed char can be shown with characters.
    2. Calculation dialog box
      Problem: If a calculation with the calculation dialog box indicates an abnormal result (representing "?????"), the radix is changed at the timing independent of user's intention.
    3. Hardware watch points
      Problem: When the RAM monitor and hardware watch points are used, setting hardware watch points out of the range of RAM monitoring causes the following problems:
      • Byte: Data is fixed to 01
      • Half word: Uppermost 1 byte of data is fixed to 02
      • Word: Uppermost 1 byte of data is fixed to 04
