1.13 Debugger Types
This section describes the types of SOFTUNE Workbench debuggers.
■
Type of Debugger
SOFTUNE Workbench integrates three types of debugger: a simulator debugger, emulator debugger, and
monitor debugger. Any one can be selected depending on the requirement.
■
Simulator Debugger
The simulator debugger simulates the MCU operations (executing instructions, memory space, I/O ports,
interrupts, reset, etc.) with software to evaluate a program.
It is used for evaluating an uncompleted system and operation of individual units, etc.
■
Emulator Debugger
The emulator debugger is software to evaluate a program by controlling an emulator from a host through a
communications line (RS-232C, LAN, USB).
Before using this debugger, the emulator must be initialized.
■
Monitor Debugger
The monitor debugger evaluates a program by putting it into an evaluation system and by communicating
with a host. An RS-232C interface and an area for the debug program are required within the evaluation
system.
