Precaution in Using Simulator Debuggers
for 16-Bit MCUs


Please take note of the following problem in using simulator debuggers PD308SIM, PD30SIM, PD79SIM, and PD77SIM for Mitsubishi microcomputers.

  1. Products Concerned
    PD308SIM V.2.00 Release 1: Simulator debugger for M16C/80 series MCUs
    PD30SIM V.4.00 Release 1: Simulator debugger for M16C/60, 20 series MCUs
    PD79SIM V.3.00 Release 1 : Simulator debugger for 7900 series MCUs
    PD77SIM V.3.00 Release 1: Simulator debugger for 77XX series MCUs


  2. Problem
    In the ASM watch window, modifying memory data by using watch points of 2 or 4 bytes wide beginning at an odd address may cause communication protocol errors to occur.


  3. Workaround
    This problem will be circumvented by either of the following ways:
    • Modify memory data in the Memory or Dump window.
    • Modify memory data by the MW or ML command in the Script window (by the MD command in PD79SIM and PD77SIM).


  4. Schedule of Fixing Problem
    We plan to fix this problem in our next release.
