2.1 Terminology
Some specific words used in this user's manual are defined as follows:
Emulator system
This means an emulator system built around the PC7501 emulator. The PC7501 emulator system is
configured with an emulator main unit, emulation probe, host machine and emulator debugger.
Emulator main unit (Hereafter PC7501)
This means an emulator main unit for M16C Family MCUs.
Emulation probe
This means the emulation probe (this product) for the M32C/80, 84, 85 and 86 Group MCUs.
Host machine
This means a personal computer used to control the emulator main unit and emulation probe.
Emulator debugger
This means a software tool M3T-PD308F V.3.20 Release 1 or later to control the emulator from a
host machine through an interface.
Firmware
Program that analyzes contents of communication with the emulator debugger and controls the
emulator hardware. This program is installed in the flash memory in the emulator main unit. This
program is downloadable from the emulator debugger to upgrade the firmware or to support other
MCUs.
Software break
A software break is a function to break the program before the system executes an instruction at the
specified address. The instruction at the preset address will not be executed.
Hardware break
A hardware break is a function to break the program when the system detects a write/read of data to/
from memory or a leading/trailing edge of the signal entered from the external trace cable. The former
break function is called address break; and the latter break function is called trigger break. While the
instruction at the address where the software break is set is not executed, a hardware break is
performed after the specified instruction is executed.
Evaluation MCU
This means the MCU mounted on the emulation probe which is operated in the specific mode for
tools.
Target MCU
This means the MCU you are going to debug.
Target program
This means the program you are going to debug.
Target system
This means a user's application system using the microcomputer to be debugged.
