PD308 Precaution

Please take note of the following problem in using emulator debugger PD308 for the M16C/80 series of microcomputers.


  1. Version Concerned
    The following version of the product is concerned with this problem:

    PD308 V.1.00 Release 1
  2. Description

    Accessing in 8-bit bus width may result in incorrect display of disassembled codes being generated in the trace window, as well as incorrect execution of TraceList commands.


  3. Conditions
    If the following three conditions are satisfied, the disassembled codes from the 19th prefetch cycle to the subsequent QC cycle are displayed incorrectly.

    3.1 Access is made in 8-bit bus width[*1]

    3.2 In an interval between two successive QC cycles[*2], 19 prefetch cycles[*3] or more are contained.

    3.3 The 19th prefetch cycle behind a QC cycle has an even address.

    *1 In this case the '8b' is displayed in the 'BUS' column of Trace Window.
    *2 Cycles where the state of BIU is QC and that of R/W is R are named QC cycles.
    *3 Cycles where the state of BIU is F and that of R/W is R are named prefetch cycles.


  4. Schedule of Fixing Problem

    We plan to fix this problem in our next release.
