PD79
Precaution

Please take note of the following problem in using emulator debugger PD79 for the 7900 series of microcomputers.


Products Concerned
The following products are concerned with this problem:
PD79 V.1.00 Release 1
PD79 V.1.10 Release 1

Problem
The "setMemoryWord" command is issued to change the contents of memory at a selected address 2 bytes at a time (this command is allowed to be abbreviated as MW). However, this command issued for the contents of memory at an even address will not change the upper 8 bits of them; this problem does not occur for odd addresses.

Workaround
Use the "FillWord" command that changes the contents of memory at a selected range 2 bytes at a time (this command is allowed to be abbreviated as FW). The following example shows a statement that loads 1234h into the addresses of 2 bytes beginning at address 8000h.

      [Example]
       -----------------------------------------------------------
      |
      |     FW 8000,8001,1234 [RET]
      |
       -----------------------------------------------------------
Schedule of Fixing Problem
We plan to fix this problem in our next release.
