Development Tools

To add or delete an I/O protection area, select the [Memory mappings] property and click on the [...] button that appears on the right to open the Memory Mapping dialog box. For details on how to change settings, refer to the section of the Memory Mapping dialog box.

This property displays only the number of memory areas.

Expanding the [Memory mappings] property will display the following sub-items.

-	[Memory type]

Indicates the memory type of the corresponding area.

Each memory type corresponds to the following areas.

On-chip ROM area	Program ROMNote 1 and data flashNote 2
On-chip RAM area	On-chip RAMNote 4
I/O registers area	Peripheral I/O register Divided into areas with different endians for display
External area(CS7/CS6/.../CS0)	External address space CS0 to CS7 are displayed separately
Other memory area	FCU-RAMNote 3, FCU firmwareNote 3, user boot
Reserved area	Areas other than those listed above
I/O protection area	Address range in an external area that is not read by the debugger. Register this area in the Memory Mapping dialog box.

Note 1.

If data in the on-chip flash ROM area is changed by means other than downloading (e.g. by manipulating it via the Memory panel or line assembling), the flash ROM reflects this change next time the user program is run.

Note 2.

If an attempt is made to reference data in erased data flash ROM, only undefined values are displayed due to the specifications of the microcontroller. If the debugger is used to write to the data flash ROM, on the other hand, data is written in 256-byte units. Written areas do not hold undefined values.

Note 3.

Do not use the debugger to write to FCU-RAM. The FCU firmware area also cannot be written by the debugger.

Note 4.

The area including the option setting memory areas listed below is displayed as an on-chip RAM area. Note that values cannot be specified in this area through the memory panel.

[RX71M, RX66x, RX65x, RX64M, and RX72T Groups]

-	SPCC Serial Programmer Command Control Reg.

-	OSIS OCD/Serial Programmer ID Setting Reg.

-	Endian select registers (MDE)

-	Option function select register 0 (OFS0)

-	Endian select registers (MDE)

-	Option function select register 0 (OFS0)

-	Option function select register 1 (OFS1)

-	Bank Select Register (BANKSEL)

-	Flash Access Window Setting Register (FAW)

-	[Start address] Displays the starting address of the corresponding area.

-	[End address] Displays the ending address of the corresponding area.

-	[Access width[bits]] Displays the access width of the corresponding area. When [Memory type] is an external area, the access width can only be changed when the debug tool is disconnected.

-	[Endian] Displays the endians of the external area and the I/O register area. When [Memory type] is an external area, the endian can only be changed when the debug tool is disconnected.

Caution

Connecting to a debug tool (see "2.4.1 Connect the debug tool to CS+") will display details for each memory type.

For data access tracing, only the trace results of data access from the specified bus master are displayed on the trace panel.

Caution 1.

This property setting cannot be changed during program execution.

Caution 2.

For an microcontroller that does not have the function for selecting the Bus master of data access, the [Bus master of data access][RX71M, RX66x, RX65x, RX64M, RX671, RX72M, RX72N, and RX72T Groups] property is not displayed. In this case, the bus master is fixed to [CPU].

(e)	[Output timestamp]

Specify whether timestamp information is added to the trace data to be collected.

The change options in this property vary depending on the microcontroller series and the specified value of [Trace data type] property, as follows:

Microcontroller	Data type	Change options

(f)	[Trace clock count source[MHz]]

This property is displayed only when you've specified [Yes] in the [Output timestamp] property.

Enter a count source with which a timestamp value is calculated from a count value.

To specify this, enter a value directly in the range 0.0001 to 999.999.

Note that if this property is blank, the set value of the [Operating frequency [MHz]] property in the [Clock] category of a [Connect Settings] tab is used in place of the count source.

Caution 1.

You cannot change this property while the program is in execution.

Caution 2.

The property's set value is not reflected in the trace data that has already been collected. The property you've set is reflected beginning with the trace data that is collected after it is set.

The frequency specified in the [Trace clock count source[MHz]] property is divided by the specified value (the frequency is multiplied by 1/n) and one cycle of the obtained frequency is used as the unit for timestamp count (the frequency for count value 1).

Caution 1.

This property setting cannot be changed during program execution.

Caution 2.

For an microcontroller that does not have the function for dividing the timestamp frequency for tracing, the [Division ratio of trace clock count source][RX71M, RX66x, RX65x, and RX64M Groups] property is not displayed. In this case, the division ratio is fixed to [1/1].
