CHAPTER 1 BASIC FUNCTIONS
1.1
Workspace Management Function
This section explains the workspace management function of SOFTUNE Workbench.
■ Workspace
SOFTUNE Workbench uses workspace as a container to manage two or more projects including subprojects.
For example, a project that creates a library and a project that creates a target file using the project can be
stored in one workspace.
■ Workspace Management Function
To manage two or more projects, workspace manages the following information:
•
•
•
Project
Active project
Subproject
■ Project
The operation performed in SOFTUNE Workbench is based on the project. The project is a set of files and
procedures necessary for creation of a target file. The project file contains all data managed by the project.
■ Active Project
The active project is basic to workspace and undergoes [Make], [Build], [Compile/Assemble], [Start Debug],
and [Update Dependence] in the menu. [Make], [Build], [Compile/Assemble], and [Update Dependence]
affect the subprojects within the active project.
If workspace contains some project, it always has one active project.
■ Subproject
The subproject is a project on which other projects depend. The target file in the subproject is linked with the
parent project of the subproject in creating a target file in the parent project.
This dependence consists of sharing target files output by the subproject, so a subproject is first made and
built. If making and building of the subproject is unsuccessful, the parent project of the subproject will not be
made and built.
The target file in the subproject is however not linked with the parent project when:
•
•
An absolute (ABS)-type project is specified as a subproject.
A library (LIB)-type project is specified as a subproject.
■ Restrictions on Storage of Two or More Projects
Only one REALOS-type project can be stored in one workspace.

CHAPTER 1 BASIC FUNCTIONS
1.2
Project Management Function
This section explains the project management function of SOFTUNE Workbench.
■ Project Management Function
The project manages all information necessary for development of a microcontroller system. Especially, its
major purpose is to manage information necessary for creation of a target file.
The project manages the following information:
- Project configuration
- Active project configuration
- Information on source files, include files, other object files, library files
- Information on tools executed before and after executing language tools (customize build function)
■ Project Format
The project file supports two formats: a 'workspace project format,' and an 'old project format.'
The differences between the two formats are as follows:
Workspace project format
- Supports management of two or more project configurations
- Supports use of all macros usable in manager
- Does not support early Workbench versions(*)
Old project format
- Supports management of just one project configuration
- Limited number of macros usable in manager
- Supports early Workbench versions(*)
When a new project is made, the workspace project format is used.
When using an existing project, the corresponding project format is used.
If a project made by an early Workbench version(*) is used, a dialog asking whether to convert the file to the
workspace project format is displayed. For details, refer to Section "2.13 Reading SOFTUNE Project Files of
Old Versions" of "SOFTUNE Workbench Operation Manual".
To open a project file in the workspace project format with an early Workbench version(*), it is necessary to
convert the file to the old project format. For saving the file in other project formats, refer to Section "4.2.7
Save As" of "SOFTUNE Workbench Operation Manual".
2
*: F MC-16: V30L26 or earlier
■ Project Configuration
The project configuration is a series of settings for specifying the characteristics of a target file, and making,
building, compiling and assembling is performed in project configurations.
Two or more project configurations can be created in a project. The default project configuration name is
Debug. A new project configuration is created on the setting of the selected existing project configuration. In
the new project configuration, the same files as those in the original project configuration are always used.
By using the project configuration, the settings of programs of different versions, such as the optimization

CHAPTER 1 BASIC FUNCTIONS
level of a compiler and MCU setting, can be created within one project.
In the project configuration, the following information is managed:
- Name and directory of target file
- Information on options of language tools to create target file by compiling, assembling and linking
source files
- Information on whether to build file or not
- Information on setting of debugger to debug target file
■ Active Project Configuration
The active project configuration at default undergoes [Make], [Build], [Compile/Assemble], [Start Debug],
and [Update Dependence].
The setting of the active project configuration is used for the file state displayed in the SRC tab of project
window and includes files detected in the Dependencies folder.
Note:
If a macro function newly added is used in old project format, the macro description is expanded at the
time of saving in old project format. For the macro description newly added, refer to Section "1.11

1.3
Project Dependence
This section explains the project dependence of SOFTUNE Workbench.
■ Project Dependence
If target files output by other projects must be linked, a subproject is defined in the project required in
[Project] - [Project Dependence] menu. The subproject is a project on which other projects depend.
By defining project dependence, a subproject can be made and built to link its target file before making and
building the parent project.
The use of project dependence enables simultaneous making and building of two or more projects developed
in one workspace.
A project configuration in making and building a subproject in [Project] - [Project Configuration] - [Build
Configuration] menu can be specified.

CHAPTER 1 BASIC FUNCTIONS
1.4
Make/Build Function
This section explains the make/build function of SOFTUNE Workbench.
■ Make Function
Make function generates a target file by compiling/assembling only updated source files from all source files
registered in a project, and then joining all required object files.
This function allows compiling/assembling only the minimum of required files. The time required for
generating a target file can be sharply reduced, especially, when debugging.
For this function to work fully, the dependence between source files and include files should be accurately
grasped. To do this, SOFTUNE Workbench has a function for analyzing include dependence. To perform this
function, it is necessary to understand the dependence of a source file and include file. SOFTUNE
Workbench has the function for analyzing the include file dependence. For details, see Section "1.5 Include
■ Build Function
Build function generates a target file by compiling/assembling all source files registered with a project,
regardless of whether they have been updated or not, and then by joining all required object files. Using this
function causes all files to be compiled/assembled, resulting in the time required for generating the target file
longer. Although the correct target file can be generated from the current source files.
The execution of Build function is recommended after completing debugging at the final stage of program
development.
Note:
When executing the Make function using a source file restored from backup, the integrity between an
object file and a source file may be lost. If this happens, executing the Build function again.

Customize Build Function
This section describes the SOFTUNE Workbench to set the Customize Build function.
■ Customize Build function
In SOFTUNE Workbench, different tools can be operated automatically before and after executing the
Assembler, Compiler, Linker, Librarian, Converter, or Configurator started at Compile, Assemble, Make, or
Build.
The following operations can be performed automatically during Make or Build using this function:
- starting the syntax check before executing the Compiler,
- after executing the Converter, starting the S-format binary Converter (m2bs.exe) and converting
Motorola S-format files to binary format files.
■ Setting Options
An option follows the tool name to start a tool from SOFTUNE Workbench. The options include any file
name and tool-specific options. SOFTUNE Workbench has the macros indicating that any file name and tool-
specific options are specified as options.
If any character string other than parameters is specified, it is passed directly to the tool. For details about the
■ Macro List
The Setup Customize Build dialog provides a macro list for macro input. The build file, load module file,
project file submenus indicate their sub-parameters specified.
The environment variable brackets must have any item; otherwise, resulting in an error.

Note:
When checking [Use the Output window], note the following:
• Once a tool is activated, Make/Build is suspended until the tool is terminated.
• The Output window must not be used with a tool using a wait state for user input while the tool is
executing. The user can not perform input while the Output window is in use, so the tool cannot be
terminated. To forcibly terminate the tool, select the tool on the Task bar and input Control - C, or
Control - Z.

Include Dependencies Analysis Function
This section describes the function of the Include Dependencies Analysis of SOFTUNE
Workbench.
■ Analyzing Include Dependencies
A source file usually includes some include files. When only an include file has been modified leaving a
source file unchanged, SOFTUNE Workbench cannot execute the Make function unless it has accurate and
updated information about which source file includes which include files.
For this reason, SOFTUNE Workbench has a built-in Include Dependencies Analysis function. This function
can be activated by selecting the [Project] - [Include Dependencies] menu. By using this function, uses can
know the exact dependencies, even if an include file includes another include file.
SOFTUNE Workbench automatically updates the dependencies of the compiled/assembled files.
Note:
When executing the [Project] - [Include Dependencies] menu, the Output window is redrawn and
replaced by the dependencies analysis result.
If the contents of the current screen are important (error message, etc.), save the contents to a file and
then execute the Include Dependencies command.

Functions of Setting Tool Options
This section describes the functions to set options for the language tools activated from
SOFTUNE Workbench.
■ Function of Setting Tool Options
To create a desired target file, it is necessary to specify options for the language tools such as a compiler,
assembler, and linker. SOFTUNE Workbench stores and manages the options specified for each tool in
project configurations.
Tool options include the options effective for all source files (common options) and the options effective for
specific source files (individual options). For details about the option setting, refer to Section "4.5.5 Setup
Project" of "SOFTUNE Workbench Operation Manual".
- Common options
These options are effective for all source files (excluding those for which individual options are
specified) stored in the project.
- Individual options
These options are compile/assemble options effective for specific source files. The common options
specified for source files for which individual options are specified become invalid.
■ Tool Options
SOFTUNE Workbench the macros indicating that any file name and directory name are specified as options.
If any character string other than parameters is specified, it is passed directly to the tool. For details about the
parameters, see Section "1.11 Macro Descriptions Usable in Manager". For details about the tool options for
each tool, see the manual of each tool.

Error Jump Function
This section describes the error jump function in SOFTUNE Workbench.
■ Error Jump Function
When an error, such as a compile error occurs, double-clicking the error message displayed in the Output
window, opens the source file where the error occurred, and automatically moves the cursor to the error line.
This function permits efficient removal of compile errors, etc.
The SOFTUNE Workbench Error Jump function analyzes the source file names and line number information
embedded in the error message displayed in the Output window, opens the matching file, and jumps
automatically to the line.
The location where a source file name and line number information are embedded in an error message, varies
with the tool outputting the error.
An error message format can be added to an existing one or modified into an new one. However, the modify
error message formats for pre-installed Fujitsu language tools are defined as part of the system, these can not
be modified.
A new error message format should be added when working the Error Jump function with user register. To
set Error Jump, execute the [Setup] - [Error Jump Setting] menu.
■ Syntax
An error message format can be described in Syntax. SOFTUNE Workbench uses macro descriptions as
To analyze up to where %f, %h, and %* continue, SOFTUNE Workbench uses the character immediately
after the above characters as a delimiter. Therefore, in Syntax, the description until a character that is used as
a delimiter re-appears, is interpreted as a file name or a keyword for help, or is skipped over. To use % as a
delimiter, describe as %%. The %[char] macro skips over as long as the specified character continues in
parentheses. To specify "]" as a skipped character, describe it as "\]". Blank characters in succession can be
specified with a single blank character.

Editor Functions
This section describes the functions of the SOFTUNE Workbench built-in standard editor.
■ Standard Editor
SOFTUNE Workbench has a built-in editor called the standard editor. The standard editor is activated as the
Edit window in SOFTUNE Workbench. As many Edit windows as are required can be opened at one time.
The standard editor has the following functions in addition to regular editing functions.
- Keyword marking function in C/assembler source file
Displays reserved words, such as if and for, in different color
- Error line marking function
The error line can be viewed in a different color, when executing Error Jump.
- Bookmark setup function
A bookmark can be set on any line, and instantaneously jumps to the line. Once a bookmark is set, the
line is displayed in a different color.
- Ruler, line number display function
The Ruler is a measure to find the position on a line; it is displayed at the top of the Edit window. A
line number is displayed at the left side of the Edit window.
- Automatic indent function
When a line is inserted using the Enter key, the same indent (indentation) as the preceding line is set
automatically at the inserted line. If the space or tab key is used on the preceding line, the same use is
set at the inserted line as well.
- Function to display, Blank, Line Feed code, and Tab code
When a file includes a Blank, Line Feed code, and Tab code, these codes are displayed with special
symbols.
- Undo function
This function cancels the preceding editing action to restore the previous state. When more than one
character or line is edited, the whole portion is restored.
- Tab size setup function
Tab stops can be specified by defining how many digits to skip when Tab codes are inserted. The
default is 8.
- Font changing function
The font size for character string displayed in the Edit window can be selected.

Storing External Editors
This section describes the function to set an external editor to SOFTUNE Workbench.
■ External Editor
SOFTUNE Workbench has a built-in standard editor, and use of this standard editor is recommended.
However, another accustomed editor can be used, with setting it, instead of an edit window. There is no
particular limit on which editor can be set, but some precautions (below) may be necessary. Use the [Setup] -
[Editor setting] menu to set an external editor.
■ Precautions
- Error jump function
The error jump cannot move the cursor to an error line if the external editor does not have a function to
specify the cursor location when activated the external editor.
- File save at compiling/assembling
SOFTUNE Workbench cannot control an external editor. Always save the file you are editing before
compiling/assembling.
■ Setting Options
When activating an external editor from SOFTUNE Workbench, options must be added immediately after
the editor name. The names of file to be opened by the editor and the initial location of the cursor (the line
number). can be specified. SOFTUNE Workbench has a set of special parameters for specifying any file
name and line number, as shown in the Table 1.9-1. If any other character string are described by these
parameters, such characters string are passed as is to the editor.
%f (File name) is determined as follows:
1. If the focus is on the SRC tab of Project window, and if a valid file name is selected, the selected file
name becomes the file name.
2. When a valid file name cannot be acquired by the above procedure, the file name with a focus in the
built-in editor becomes the file name.
%x (project path) is determined as follows:
1. If a focus is on the SRC tab of project window and a valid file name is selected, the project path is a
path to the project in which the file is stored.
2. If no path is obtained, the project path is a path to the active project.
Also file name cannot be given double-quotes in the expansion of %f macros.
Therefore, it is necessary for you to provide double-quotes for %f. Depending on the editor, there are line
numbers to which there will be no correct jump if the entire option is not given double-quotes.

Storing External Tools
This section describes the function to set an external tool to SOFTUNE Workbench.
■ External Tools
A non-standard tool not attached to SOFTUNE Workbench can be used by setting it as an external tool and
by calling it from SOFTUNE Workbench. Use this function to coordinate with a source file version control
tool.
If a tool set as an external tool is designed to output the execution result to the standard output and the
standard error output through the console application, the result can be specified to output the SOFTUNE
Workbench Output window. In addition, the allow description of additional parameters each time the tool is
activated.
To set an external tool, use the [Setup] - [Setting Tool] menu.
To select the title of a set tool, use the [Setup] - [Activating Tool] menu.
■ Setting Options
When activating an external tool from SOFTUNE Workbench, options must be added immediately after the
external tool name. Specify the file names, and unique options, etc.
SOFTUNE Workbench has a set of special parameters for specifying any file name and unique tool options.
If any characters string described other than these parameters, such characters string are passed as is to the
external tool.
Note:
When checking [Use the Output window], note the following:
• Once a tool is activated, neither other tools nor the compiler/assembler can be activated until the
tool is terminated.
• The Output window must not be used with a tool using a wait state for user input while the tool is
executing. The user cannot perform input while the Output window is in use, so the tool cannot be
terminated. To forcibly terminate the tool, select the tool on the Task bar and input Control - C, or
Control - Z.

Setting Operating Environment
This section describes the functions for setting the SOFTUNE Workbench operating
environment.
■ Operating Environment
Set the environment variables for SOFTUNE Workbench and some basic setting for the Project.
To set the operating environment, use the [Setup]-[Setup Development Environment] menu.
● Environment Variables
Environment variables are variables that are referred to mainly using the language tools activated from
SOFTUNE Workbench. The semantics of an environment variable are displayed in the lower part of the
Setup dialog. However, the semantics are not displayed for environment variables used by tools added later
to SOFTUNE Workbench.
When SOFTUNE Workbench and the language tools are installed in a same directory, it is not especially
necessary to change the environment variable setups.
● Basic setups for Project
The following setups are possible.
- Open the previously worked-on Project at start up
When starting SOFTUNE Workbench, it automatically opens the last worked-on Project.
- Display options while compiling/assembling
Compile options or assemble options can be viewed in the Output window.
- Save dialog before closing Project
Before closing the Project, a dialog asking for confirmation of whether or not to save the Project to the
file is displayed. If this setting is not made, SOFTUNE Workbench automatically saves the Project
without any confirmation message.
- Save dialog before compiling/assembling
Before compiling/assembling, a dialog asking for confirmation of whether or not to save a source file
that has not been saved is displayed. If this setting is not made, the file is saved automatically before
compile/assemble/make/build.
- Termination message is highlighted at Make/Build
At Compile, Assemble, Make, or Build, the display color of termination messages (Abort, No Error,
Warning, Error, Fatal error, or Failing During start) can be changed freely by the user.

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.

Symbolic Debugging
The symbols defined in a source program can be used for command parameters
(address). There are three types of symbols as follows:
• Global Symbol
• Static Symbol within Module (Local Symbol within Module)
• Local Symbol within Function
■ Types of Symbols
A symbol means the symbol defined while a program is created, and it usually has a type. Symbols become
usable by loading the debug information file.
Furthermore, a type of the symbol in C language is recognized and the command is executed.
There are three types of symbols as follows:
•
•
Global symbol
A global symbol can be referred to from anywhere within a program. In C language, variables and
functions defined outside a function without a static declaration are in this category. In assembler,
symbols with a PUBLIC declaration are in this category.
Static symbol within module (Local symbol within module)
A static symbol within module can be referred to only within the module where the symbol is defined.
In C language, variables and functions defined outside a function with a static declaration are in this
category. In assembler, symbols without a PUBLIC declaration are in this category.
•
Local symbol within function
A local symbol within a function exists only in C language. A static symbol within a function and an
automatic variable are in this category.
- Static symbol within function
Out of the variables defined in function, those with static declaration.
- Automatic variable
Out of the variables defined in function, those without static declaration and parameters for the
function.
■ Setting Symbol Information
Symbol information in the file is set with the symbol information table by loading a debug information file.
This symbol information is created for each module.
The module is constructed for each source file to be compiled in C language, in assembler for each source
file to be assembled.
The debugger automatically selects the symbol information for the module to which the PC belongs to at
abortion of execution (Called "the current module"). A program in C language also has information about
which function the PC belongs to.

Referring to Local Symbols
This section describes referring to local symbols and Scope.
■ Scope
When a local symbol is referred to, Scope is used to indicate the module and function to which the local
symbol to be referred belongs.
SOFTUNE Workbench automatically scopes the current module and function to refer to local symbols in the
current module with preference. This is called the Auto-scope function, and the module and function
currently being scoped are called the Current Scope.
When specifying a local variable outside the Current Scope, the variable name should be specified by the
module and function to which the variable belongs. This method of specifying a variable is called a symbol
path name or a Search Scope.
■ Moving Scope
As explained earlier, there are two ways to specify the reference to a variable: by adding a Search Scope
when specifying the variable name, and by moving the Current Scope to the function with the symbol to be
referred to. The Current Scope can be changed by displaying the Call Stack dialog and selecting the parent
function. For further details of this operation, refer to "4.6.7 Stack" in "SOFTUNE Workbench Operation
Manual". Changing the Current Scope as described above does not affect the value of the PC.
By moving the current scope in this way, you can search a local symbol in parent function with precedence.
■ Specifying Symbol and Search Procedure
A symbol is specified as follows:
[[Module Name] [\Function Name] \] Symbol Name
When a symbol is specified using the module and function names, the symbol is searched. However, when
only the symbol name is specified, the search is made as follows:
1. Local symbols in function in Current Scope
2. Static symbols in module in Current Scope
3. Global symbols
If a global symbol has the same name as a local symbol in the Current Scope, specify "\" or "::" at the start of
global symbol. By doing so, you can explicitly show that is a global symbol.
An automatic variable can be referred to only when the variable is in memory. Otherwise, specifying an
automatic variable causes an error.

■ Notes on C Language Symbols
The C compiler outputs symbol information with "_" prefixed to global symbols. For example, the symbol
main outputs symbol information _main. However, SOFTUNE Workbench permits access using the symbol
name described in the source to make the debug of program described by C language easier.
Consequently, a symbol name described in C language and a symbol name described in assembler, which
should both be unique, may be identical.
In such a case, the symbol name in the Current Scope normally is preferred. To refer to a symbol name
outside the Current Scope, specify the symbol with the module name.
If there are duplicated symbols outside the Current Scope, the symbol name searched first becomes valid. To
refer to another one, specify the symbol with the module name.

Simulator Debugger
2
This section describes the functions of the simulator debugger for the F MC-16 Family.
■ 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 to evaluate an uncompleted system, the operation of single units, etc.
There are 2 types of simulator debuggers.
- Normal simulator debugger (normal)
- High-speed simulator debugger (fast)
This high-speed simulator debugger provides substantial reductions in simulation time due to a dramatic
review of normal simulator debugger's processing methods.
The high-speed simulator debugger can be instruction processing performance for 10MIPS when it is
operated by PC equipped with Pentium4 2.0GHz.
External I/F for simulator are equipped to high-speed simulator debugger to create peripheral simulation
modules.
Please refer to "Appendix I External I/F DLL for Simulator" in "SOFTUNE Workbench Operation Manual".
■ Operating Condition of High-speed Simulator Debugger
The high-speed simulator debugger requires much more RAM space on the host PC than that of normal
simulator debugger.
The required RAM size depends largely on your program size.
For the required available RAM space, see the table below:
Basic use
Fs907s.exe (This product)
per 64 KB
20MB
6MB
CODE size of target program
DATA size of target program
per 64 KB
1.5MB
Insufficient RAM space will lead to an extreme decrease in simulation speed.
Target program size
CODE
DATA
XX(KB)
YY(KB)
Required RAM space (MB) = 20 + (XX / 64) × 6 + (YY / 64) × 1.5
However, RAM space larger than the above may be needed depending on program allocation.
Consecutive areas should be reserved as much as possible.
Example: Program with 1 MB of CODE and DATA sizes
Required RAM space (MB) = 20 + (1024 / 64) × 6 + (1024 / 64) × 1.5 = 140MB

■ Simulation Range
The simulator debugger simulates the MCU operations (instruction operations, memory space, I/O ports,
interrupts, reset, power-save consumption mode, etc.) Peripheral I/Os, such as a timer, DMAC and serial I/O,
other than the CPU core of the actual chip are not supported as peripheral resources. I/O space to which
peripheral I/Os are connected is treated as memory space. There is a method for simulating interrupts like
timer interrupts, and data input to memory like I/O ports. For details, see the sections concerning I/O port
simulation and interrupt simulation.
- Instruction simulation
- Memory simulation
- I/O port simulation (Input port)
- I/O port simulation (Output port)

■ Setting Operating Environment
2
For the simulator debugger for F MC-16FX, it is necessary to set the following operating environment. Its
predefined default settings are enabled at startup. Therefore, setup is not required when using the default
settings. Adjusted settings can be used as new default settings from the next time.

CHAPTER 2 DEPENDENCE FUNCTIONS
2.1.1.1
Boot ROM File Automatic Execution
2
The simulator debugger for F MC-16FX automatically loads and executes the Boot ROM
file at the start of debugging.
■ Boot ROM File Automatic Execution
2
When the simulator debugger for F MC-16FX is specified, the Boot ROM file is automatically loaded and
then executed at the start of debugging. The Boot ROM file is stored in Lib\907\BootROM under the
directory where Workbench is installed.
The directory containing the Boot ROM file can be displayed using the [Project] - [Setup Project] menu, and
can be modified in the setup project dialog. In addition, it is also possible to automatically execute the Boot
ROM file during the debugger startup or reset of MCU. For details, see the "SOFTUNE Workbench
Operation Manual".
Notes:
• When MCU reset is performed in the simulator debugger, the PC value varies, as shown below,
2
depending on whether it is F MC-16FX or not:
2
F MC-16FX: Starting address of the Boot ROM file
2
Other than F MC-16FX: Entry point in the target file (reset vector)
• As the simulator debugger does not support fixed boot vectors, it always jumps to the reset vector
after the execution of the Boot ROM file. For the operation after the execution of the Boot ROM file,
see the LSI Specification Manual.

Memory Simulation
This section describes the memory simulation executed by SOFTUNE Workbench.
■ Memory Simulation
The simulator debugger must first secure memory space to simulate instructions because it simulates the
memory space secured in the host PC memory.
The following operation is required.
- To secure the memory area, either use the [Setup] - [Memory Map] menu, or the SET MAP command
in the Command window.
- Load the file output by the Linkage Editor (Load Module File) using either the [Debug] - [Load target
file] menu, or the LOAD/OBJECT command in the Command window.
■ Simulation Memory Space
Memory space access attributes can be specified byte-by-byte using the [Setup] - [Memory Map] menu. The
access attribute of unspecified memory space is Undefined using the [Setup] - [Memory Map] menu.
■ Memory Area Access Attributes
Access attributes for memory area can be specified as shown in Table 2.1-1. A guarded access break occurs if
access is attempted against such access attribute while executing a program. When access is made by a
program command, such access is allowed regardless of the attribute, CODE, READ or WRITE. However,
access to memory in an undefined area causes an error.

I/O Port Simulation
This section describes I/O port simulation executed by SOFTUNE Workbench.
■ I/O Port Simulation (Input Port)
There are two types of simulations in I/O port simulation: input port simulation, and output port simulation.
Input port simulation has the following types:
- Whenever a program reads the specified port, data is input from the pre-defined data input source.
- Whenever the instruction execution cycle count exceeds the specified cycle count, data is input to the
port.
To set an input port, use the [Setup] - [Debug Environment] - [I/O Port] menu, or the SET INPORT
command in the Command window.
Up to 4096 port addresses can be specified for the input port. The data input source can be a file or a
terminal. After reading the last data from the file, the data is read again from the beginning of the file. If a
terminal is specified, the input terminal is displayed at read access to the set port.
A text file created by an ordinary text editor, or a binary file containing direct code can be used as the data
input file. When using a text file, input the input data inside commas (,). When using a binary file, select the
binary radio button in the input port dialog.
■ I/O Port Simulation (Output Port)
At output port simulation, whenever a program writes data to the specified port, writing is executed to the
data output destination.
To set an output port, either use the [Setup] - [Debug Environment] - [I/O Port] menu, or the SET OUTPORT
command in the Command window.
Up to 4096 port addresses can be set as output ports. Select either a file or terminal (Output Terminal
window) as the data output destination.
A destination file must be either a text file that can be referred to by regular editors, or a binary file. To
output a binary file, select the Binary radio button in the Output Port dialog.
Note:
The following method is not supported by high-speed simulator debugger.
• Whenever the instruction execution cycle count exceeds the specified cycle count, data is input to
the port.
Furthermore the setting of memory map is necessary to set I/O port. When deleting memory map, I/O
port is also deleted.

2.1.5
Interrupt Simulation
This section describes the interrupt simulation executed by SOFTUNE Workbench.
■ Interrupt Simulation
*
Simulate the operation of the MCU (including intelligent I/O service ) in response to an interrupt request.
Note that intelligent I/O service does not support any end request from the resource.
Provisions for the causes of interrupts and interrupt control registers are made by referencing data in the
install file read at simulator start up.
*: Automatic data transfer function between I/O and memory is called an intelligent I/O service. This
function allows exchange of data between memory and I/O, which was done previously by the interrupt
handling program, using DMA (Direct Memory Access). (For details, refer to the user manual for each
model.)
The methods of generating interrupts are as follows:
- Execute instructions for the specified number of cycles while the program is running (during execution
of executable commands) to generate interrupts corresponding to the specified interrupt numbers and
cancel the interrupt generating conditions.
- Continue to generate interrupts each time the number of instruction execution cycles exceeds the
specified number of cycles.
The method of generating interrupts is set by the [Setup]-[Debug environment]-[Interrupt] menu. If interrupts
are masked by the interrupt enable flag when the interrupt generating conditions are established, the
interrupts are generated after they are unmasked.
MCU operation in response to an interrupt request is also supported for the following exception handling:
- Execution of undefined instructions
- Address error in program access
(Program access to internal RAM area and internal I/O area)
2
- Stack area error (only for F MC-16F)
Note:
When an external interrupt is generated while under an interrupt mask at high-speed simulator
debugger, that interrupt factor is eliminated.

Reset Simulation
This section describes the reset simulation executed by SOFTUNE Workbench.
■ Reset Simulation
The simulator debugger simulates the operation when a reset signal is input to the MCU using the [Debug]-
[Reset MCU] menu and initializes the registers. The function for performing reset processing by operation of
MCU instructions (writing to RST bit in standby control register) is also supported. In this case, the reset
message (Reset) is displayed on the status bar.

Low-Power Consumption Mode Simulation
This section describes the low-power consumption SOFTUNE Workbench mode
simulation executed by SOFTUNE Workbench.
■ Low-Power Consumption Mode Simulation
The MCU enters the low-power consumption mode in accordance with the MCU instruction operation (Write
to SLEEP bit or STOP bit of standby control register). Once in the sleep mode or stop mode, a message
("sleep" for sleep mode, "stop" for stop mode) is displayed on the Status Bar. The loop keeps running until
either an interrupt request is generated, or the [Debug] - [Abort] menu is executed. Each cycle of the loop
increments the count by 1. During this period, I/O port processing can be operated. Writing to the standby
control register using a command is not prohibited.

2.1.9.1
Code Break
It is a function that the simulator debugger aborts the program execution when the code
access specified while executing the program is done.
■ Flow of Code Break
When the program reaches the breakpoint (Immediately before an instruction memory positional is
executed), the simulator debugger does the following processing.
1) The execution of the program is aborted (Before executing the instruction).
2) When the attainment frequency is checked, and it doesn't reach the attainment frequency of the specified
breakpoint, the program execution is restarted. It moves to 3) when it reaches the attainment frequency.
3) The memory position in which execution was aborted is displayed in the status bar.
The breakpoint can be set up to 65535 points or less.
When a break occurs due to a code break, the following message is displayed on the Status Bar.
Break at Address by breakpoint
■ Setting Method
The code break is controlled by the following method.
•
•
•
Command
- SET BREAK

CHAPTER 2 DEPENDENCE FUNCTIONS
● Dangerous BreakPoints
•
•
Never set a breakpoint at an address other than the instruction starting address.
If a breakpoint is the last 1 byte of an instruction longer than 2 bytes length, and if such an address is
even, the following abnormal operation will result:
- If instruction executed by STEP command, instruction execution not aborted.
- If breakpoint specified with GO command, set at instruction immediately after such instruction, the
breakpoint does not break.
Note:
[High-speed version simulator debugger]
• When the break function is used, it is necessary to set the memory map beforehand. When the
memory map is deleted, the setting of the breakpoint is deleted.
• When the breakpoint with pass count is set to the reset vector in 16FX, hit count is cleared after the
Boot ROM file is executed. For details of the execution of the Boot ROM file, refer to "■ Setting
Options in [Boot ROM] (Only MB2198)" of section "4.5.5.9 Setting Debug Options" in "SOFTUNE

CHAPTER 2 DEPENDENCE FUNCTIONS
2.1.9.2
Data Break
It is a function that the simulator debugger aborts the program execution when the data
access (read and write) specified while executing the program is done.
■ Flow of Data Break
The simulator debugger does the following processing when the program writes in the breakpoint or it reads
it.
1) After the execution of the instruction is completed, the execution of the program is aborted.
2) It moves to 3) when the program execution is restarted when the access frequency is checked, and it
doesn't reach the access frequency of the specified data break, and it reaches the access frequency.
3) When it reaches the access frequency and the program execution is aborted, the memory position of the
instruction in which it is writing (Or, read it) is displayed to the memory position of the data breakpoint
and the memory position in the status bar.
4) Next, the executed memory position is displayed.
The breakpoint can be set up to 65535 points or less.
When a break occurs due to a data break, the following message is displayed on the Status Bar.
Break at Address by databreak at Access address
■ Setting Method
The data break is controlled by the following method.

Measuring Execution Cycle Count
This function measures the program execution cycle count.
■ Measurement Items
Measures program execution cycle count and step counts.
● Execution Cycle Count
This is calculated based on the basic cycle count of each instruction described in the Programming Manual.
A compensation value (a, b), which is described in the list of an instruction in Programming Manual, is
calculated as 1.
The maximum measurable value varies, as shown below, whether the normal or the high-speed simulator
debugger is used.
Normal debugger:
Max. (2 to the power of 32 - 1) = 4,294,967,295 cycles
High-speed debugger: Max. (2 to the power of 64 - 1) = 18,446,744,073,709,551,615 cycles
● Execution Step Count
Measures program execution step counts.
For both the normal simulator debugger and the high-speed simulator debugger, the maximum measurable
count is "2 to the power of 32 - 1", in other words, up to 4,294,967,295 steps.
The measurement is performed whenever a program is executed, and the measurement result displays the
following two values:
•
•
Step counts spent on the previous program execution
Total step counts spent on the program execution since the previous clearing
■ Displaying Measurement Results
Either of the following methods can be used to display the measurement results.
● Display by dialog
The results appear in the time measurement dialog, which can be displayed by selecting [Debug] – [Time
Measurement] menu.
For details, refer to Section "4.6.8 Time Measurement" in "SOFTUNE Workbench Operation Manual".

Trace
The address and status information can be sampled during program execution to record
it in a trace buffer. This function is called a trace.
■ Trace
The address and status information can be sampled during program execution to record it in a trace buffer.
This function is called a trace. Data of the trace buffer can be used to make a detailed analysis of a program
execution history.
The trace buffer is in the form of a ring. When it becomes full, it records the next data by automatically
overwriting the buffered data at the beginning.
■ Trace Data
The simulator debugger can sample 1000 frames of trace data for the address of the executed instruction.
■ Abortion of Trace Measurement
While the trace function is enabled, data is always sampled and recorded in the trace buffer during execution
of a user program.
The program execution aborts due to a break factor such as a breakpoint, terminating the trace.
Furthermore, when the trace buffer becomes full, a program break can be invoked. This break is called a
trace buffer full break.
■ Frame Number
A number is assigned to each frame of sampled trace data. This number is called a frame number.
The frame number is used to specify the display start position of the trace buffer.
The number 0 is assigned to the last-sampled trace data. Negative values are assigned to trace data that have
been sampled before the arrival at the triggering position.

Measuring Coverage
In the high-speed version simulator debugger, the C0 coverage measurement function is
provided. Use this function to find what percentage of an entire program has been
executed.
■ Coverage Measurement Function
When testing a program, the program is executed with various test data input and the results are checked for
correctness. When the test is finished, every part of the entire program should have been executed. If any part
has not been executed, there is a possibility that the test is insufficient.
It can know what percentage of the entire program executed when the coverage function for the high-speed
version simulator debugger to have is used.
In addition, details such as which addresses were not accessed can be checked.
In this debugger, the range to measure coverage can be set.
Please set the time base range only to the code area when you do the C0 coverage.
Moreover, the access of the variable can be examined as the variable not used is searched out by setting the
time base range to the data area.
■ Coverage Measurement Procedures
The procedure for coverage measurement is as follows:
•

CHAPTER 2 DEPENDENCE FUNCTIONS
2.2.1.1
MCU Operation Mode
There are two MCU operation modes as follows:
• Debugging Mode
• Native Mode
■ Setting MCU Operation Mode
Set the MCU operation mode.
There are two operation modes: the debugging mode, and the native mode. Choose either one using the SET
RUNMODE command.
At emulator start-up, the MCU is in the debugging mode.
When the MCU operation mode is changed, all the following are initialized:
- Data breakpoints
- Event condition settings
- Sequencer settings
- Trace measurement settings and trace buffer
- Performance measurement settings and measured result
● Debugging Mode
All the operations of evaluation chips can be analyzed, but their operating speed is slower than that of mass-
produced chips.
● Native Mode
Evaluation chips have the same timing as mass-produced chips to control the operating speed. Note that the

- Memory mapping setting is disabled and each area is accessed to the MCU
specifications.
F MC-16/16H
- Traces cannot be disassembled.
Common to all series
- When a data read access occurs on the MCU internal bus, the internal bus
access information is not sampled and stored in the trace buffer.
- Even when a data break or event (data access condition) is set for data on the
MCU internal bus, it may not become a break factor or sequencer-triggering
factor.
- The coverage function may fail to detect an access to data on the MCU
internal bus.

CHAPTER 2 DEPENDENCE FUNCTIONS
■ MCU Operation Speed
To support a broader range of MCU operation speeds, the emulator adjusts control of the MCU according to
the MCU operation speed.
2
Normally, set the low-speed operation mode. If the F MC-16H/16F series is operated at high speed and
malfunctions occur, change the setting to the high-speed operation mode.
Also, to start at low speed and then change to high speed because of the gear setting, etc., use the SET
RUNMODE command to change the setting.

CHAPTER 2 DEPENDENCE FUNCTIONS
2.2.1.2
Debug Area
Set the intensive debugging area out of the whole memory space. The area functions are
enhanced.
■ Setting Debug Area
There are two debug areas: DEBUG1, and DEBUG2. A continuous 512KB area (8 banks) is set for each
area.
Set the debug area using the SET DEBUG command.
Setting the debug area enhances the breakpoints/data breakpoints and the coverage measurement function.
- Enhancement of Breakpoints
Up to six breakpoints (not including temporary breakpoints set using GO command) can be set when the
debug area has not been set yet.
When setting the debug area as the CODE attribute, up to 65535 breakpoints can be set if they are within
the area. At this time, up to six breakpoints can be set for an area other than the debug area, but the total
count of breakpoints must not exceed 65535.
- Enhancement of Data Breakpoints
Up to six data breakpoints can be set when the debug area has not been set yet.
When setting the debug area of the data attribute (READ, WRITE), up to 65535 data breakpoints can be
set if they are within the area and have the same attribute. At this time, up to six data breakpoints can be
set for an area other than the area or for a different attribute, but the total number of data breakpoints must
not exceed 65535.
- Enhancement of Coverage Measurement Function
Setting the debug area enables the coverage measurement function. In coverage measurement, the
measurement range can be specified only within the area specified as the debug area.
The attributes for the debug area are "Don't care" as long as it is being used for coverage measurement.
The coverage measurement attribute can be set, regardless of the debug area attributes.

CHAPTER 2 DEPENDENCE FUNCTIONS
2.2.1.3
Memory Area Types
A unit in which memory is allocated is called an area. There are seven different area
types.
■ Memory Area Types
A unit to allocate memory is allocated is called an area. There are seven different area types as follows:
- User Memory Area
Memory space in the user system is called the user memory area and this memory is called the user
memory. Up to eight user memory areas can be set with no limit on the size of each area.
Access attributes can be set for each area; for example, CODE, READ, etc., can be set for ROM area, and
READ, WRITE, etc. can be set for RAM area. If the MCU attempts access in violation of these attributes,
the MCU operation is suspended and an error is displayed (guarded access break).
2
To set the user memory area, use the SET MAP command. The F MC-16/16H only allows this setup in
the debugging mode.
- Emulation Memory Area
Memory space substituted for emulator memory is called the emulation memory area, and this memory is
called emulation memory.
As emulation memory area, Using MB2145-506 emulation pod, up to seven areas (including mirror area
and internal ROM area described below) each with a maximum size of 64 KB can be set. An area larger
than 64 KB can be set, but the areas are managed internally in 64 KB units.
Using MB2145-507 emulation pod, up to seven areas (including mirror area and internal ROM area
described below) each with a maximum size of 512 KB can be set.
The memory operation command can be executed for this area while executing MCU.
To set the emulation memory area, use the SET MAP command. Attributes are set as for user memory
area.
Note:
Even if the MCU internal resources are set as emulation memory area, access is made to the internal
2
resources. The F MC-16/16H only allows this setup in the debugging mode.
- Mirror Area
The mirror area is a region in the emulator memory that makes copies of user memory accesses. The
memory in this area is called a mirror region.
The mirror area is used while it overlaps with a user memory area or undefined area. It is implemented by
the emulation memory. Up to five mirror areas can be defined including emulation memory areas.
Mirror areas are used to reference the user memory during on-the-fly execution (For further details, refer
Mirror areas can be set using the SET MAP command. If the memory contents copy option is selected
when a mirror area is set, the contents of the mirror area are always the same contents as the user memory.

CHAPTER 2 DEPENDENCE FUNCTIONS
Note:

When the F MC-16/16H is used, mirror area setup can be performed only in the debugging mode.
- Internal ROM Area
The area where the emulator internal memory is substituted for internal ROM is called the internal ROM
area, and this memory is called the internal ROM memory.
Only one internal ROM area with a size up to 128 KB can be specified. The internal ROM area is capable
to set by the "Setup Map" dialog opening by "Debugger Memory Map... " from "Setup".
Note:
The internal memory area, it is set a suitable area automatically by the selected MCU.
2
2
2
- Internal ROM Image Area (F MC-16L, F MC-16LX, F MC-16F only)
Some types of MCUs have data in a specific area of internal ROM appearing to 00 bank. This specific
area is called the internal ROM image area.
The internal ROM image area is capable to set by the "Setup Map" dialog opening by "Debugger Memory
Map... " from "Setup". This area attribute is automatically set to READ/CODE. The same data as in the
internal ROM area appears in the internal ROM image area.
Note that the debug information is only enabled for either one (one specified when linked). To debug only
the internal ROM image area, change the creation type of the load module file.
Note:
The internal memory area, it is set a suitable area automatically by the selected MCU.
2
- Internal Instruction RAM Area (F MC-16H only)
Some types of MCUs have the internal instruction RAM, and this area is called the internal instruction
RAM area.
The internal instruction RAM area, it is capable to set by the "Internal Instruction RAM area" tab in the
"Setup CPU Information" dialog (select menu "project"-"setup project...", select the "MCU" tab, and push
the "CPU Information..." button). The size must be specified to either H'100, H'200, H'400, H'800,
H'1000, H'2000 or H'4000 bytes.
Note:
The internal memory area, it is set a suitable area automatically by the selected MCU.
- Undefined Area
A memory area that does not belong to any of the areas described above is part of the user memory area.
This area is specifically called the undefined area.
The undefined area can be set to either NOGUARD area, which can be accessed freely, or GUARD area,
which cannot be accessed. Select either setup for the whole undefined area. If the area attribute is set to
GUARD, a guarded access error occurs if access to this area is attempted.

2.2.1.4
Memory Mapping
Memory space can be allocated to the user memory, the emulation memory, etc., and the
attributes of these areas can be specified.
However, the MCU internal resources are not dependent on this mapping setup and
access is always made to the internal resources.
■ Access Attributes for Memory Areas
A guarded memory access break occurs if access is attempted in violation of these attributes while executing
a program.
When access to the user memory area and the emulation memory area is made using program commands,
such access is allowed regardless of the CODE, READ, WRITE attributes. However, access to memory with
the GUARD attribute in the undefined area, causes an error.
Table 2.2-2 Types of Access Attributes
Area
Attribute
CODE
Description
User Memory
Instruction Execution Enabled
Data Read Enabled
Emulation Memory
READ
WRITE
Data Write Enabled
Undefined
GUARD
NOGUARD
Access Disabled
No check of access attribute
When access is made to an area without the WRITE attribute by executing a program, a guarded access break
occurs after the data has been rewritten if the access target is the user memory. However, if the access target
is the emulation memory, the break occurs before rewriting. In other words, write-protection (memory data
cannot be overwritten by writing) can be set for the emulation memory area by not specifying the WRITE
attribute for the area.
This write-protection is only enabled for access made by executing a program, and is not applicable to access
by commands.
■ Creating and Viewing Memory Map
Use the following commands for memory mapping.
SET MAP:
Set memory map.
SHOW MAP:
CANCEL MAP:
Display memory map.
Change memory map setting to undefined.

■ Notes on STEP Command
- Exceptional Step Execution
When executing the instructions listed in the notes on the GO command as invalid breakpoints and
abnormal breakpoints, such instructions and the next instruction are executed as a single instruction.
Furthermore, if such instructions are continuous, then all these continuous instructions and the next
instruction are executed as a single instruction.
- Step Execution that won't Break
Note that no break occurs after step operation when both the following conditions are met at one time.
- When step instruction longer than 2 bytes and last code ends at even address
- When breakpoint already set at last address (This "already-set" breakpoint is an invalid breakpoint that
won't break, because it has been set at an address other than the starting address of an instruction.)
■ Controlling Watchdog Timer
It is possible to select "No reset generated by watchdog timer counter overflow" while executing a program
using the GO, STEP, CALL commands.
Use the ENABLE WATCHDOG, DISABLE WATCHDOG commands to control the watchdog timer.
- ENABLE WATCHDOG
- DISABLE WATCHDOG

On-the-fly Memory Access
While on-the-fly, the area mapped to the emulation memory is Read/Write enabled, but
the area mapped to the user memory area is Read-only enabled.
■ Read/Write Memory while On-the-fly
The user memory cannot be accessed while on-the-fly (when execute the MCU). However, the emulation
memory can be accessed. (The using cycle-steal algorithm eliminates any negative effect on the MCU
speed.)
This emulator allows the user to use part of the emulation memory as a mirror area. The mirror area holds a
copy of the user memory. Using this mirror area makes the Read-only enabled function available while on-
the-fly.
Each memory area operates as follows:
- User Memory Area
Access to the user memory is permitted only when the operation is suspended by a break.
- Emulation Memory Area
Access to the emulation memory is permitted regardless of whether the MCU is suspended, or while on-
the-fly.
- Mirror Area
The emulation memory with the MIRROR setting can be set up for the user memory area to be referred to
while on-the-fly. This area is specifically called the mirror area.
As shown in Figure 2.2-1, the mirror area performs access to the user memory while the MCU is stopped,
and such access is reflected simultaneously in the emulation memory specified as the mirror area. (Read
access is also reflected in the emulation memory specified as the mirror area).
In addition, as shown in Figure 2.2-2, access to the user memory by the MCU is reflected "as it is" in the
emulation memory of the mirror area.
While on-the -fly, the user memory cannot be accessed. However, the emulation memory specified as the
mirror area can be read instead. In other words, identical data to that of the user memory can be read by
accessing the mirror area.
However, at least one time access must be allowed before the emulation memory of the mirror area has
the same data as the user memory. The following copy types allow the emulation memory of the mirror
area to have the same data as the user memory.
(1) Copying all data when setting mirror area
When, /COPY is specified with the mirror area set using the SET MAP command, the whole area is
specified, as the mirror area is copied.
(2) Copying only required portion using memory access commands
Data in the specified portion can be copied by executing a command that accesses memory.

Guarded Access Break
The guarded access break is an abortion of the program execution that happens when
the violation to the set access attribute, doing the access, and guarded (An undefined
area cannot be accessed) area are accessed.
■ Guarded Access Break
A guarded access break aborts a executing program when access is made in violation of the access attribute
set by using the [Setup] - [Memory Map] menu, and access is attempted to a guarded area (access-disabled
area in undefined area).
There are three types of the following in Guarded access break.
Code guarded
When the instruction execution is done to the area without the code attribute, the break is done.
Read guarded
When the area without the read attribute is read, the break is done.
Write guarded
When the area without the write attribute is write, the break is done.
If a guarded access occurs while executing a program, the following message is displayed on the Status Bar
and the program is aborted.
Break at Address by guarded access {code/read/write} at Access address
Note:
Code Guarded is affected by pre-fetching.

■ Event Modes
There are three event modes as listed below. To determine which function event triggers are used for, select
one using the SET MODE command. The default is normal mode.
The event value setting are made for each mode, so switching the event mode changes the event settings as
well.
- Normal Mode
Event triggers used for sequencer.
Since the sequencer can perform control at 8 levels, it can control sequential breaks, time measurement
and trace sampling. Real-time tracing in the normal mode is performed by single trace (tracing function
that samples program execution continuously).
- Multi Trace Mode
Event triggers used for multitracing (trace function that samples data before and after event trigger
occurrence).
- Performance Mode
Event triggers are used for performance measurement to measure time duration between two event trigger
occurrences and count of event trigger occurrences.

Operation in Normal Mode
As shown in the figure below, the event trigger set in the normal mode performs input to
the sequencer. In the sequencer, either branching to any level, or terminating the
sequencer, can be specified as an operation at event trigger occurrence. This enables
debugging (breaks, limiting trace, measuring time) while monitoring program flow.
■ Operation in Normal Mode
The termination of sequencer triggers the delay counter. When the delay counter reaches the specified count,
sampling for the single trace terminates. A break normally occurs at this point, but if necessary, the program
can be allowed to run on without a break.

Control by Sequencer
This emulator has a sequencer to control events. By using this sequencer, sampling of
breaks, time measurement and tracing can be controlled while monitoring program flow
(sequence). A break caused by this function is called a sequential break.
To use this function, set the event mode to normal mode using the SET MODE command.
Use the SET EVENT command to set events.
■ Control by Sequencer
At each level, 8 events and 1 timer condition (9 conditions in total) can be set.
A timer condition is met when the timer count starts at entering a given level and the specified time is
reached.
For each condition, the next operation can be specified when the condition is met. Select any one of the
following.
- Move to required level.
- Terminate sequencer.
The conditions set for each level are determined by OR. Therefore, if any one condition is met, the sequencer
either moves to the required level, or terminates. In addition, trace sampling abort/resume can be controlled
when a condition is met.

Break by Sequencer
A program can suspend program execution when the sequencer terminates. This break
is called a sequential break.
■ Break by Sequencer
A program can suspend program execution when the sequencer terminates. This break is called a sequential
break.
As shown in Figure 2.2-7, the delay count starts when the sequencer terminates, and after delay count ends,
either "break" or "not break but tracing only terminates" is selected as the next operation.
To make a break immediately after the sequencer terminates, set delay count to 0 and specify "Break after
delay count terminates". Use the SET DELAY command to set the delay count and the operation after the
delay count.
The default is delay count 0, and Break after delay count.

Trace Sampling Control by Sequencer
When the event mode is in the normal mode, real-time trace executing tracing called
single trace.
If the trace function is enabled, single trace samples all the data from the start of
executing a program until the program is suspended.
■ Trace Sampling Control by Sequencer
Sets up suspend/resume trace sampling for each condition at each level of the sequencer. Figure 2.2-8 shows
the trace sampling flow.
For example, it is possible to suspend trace sampling when event 1 occurs, and then resume trace sampling
when event 2 occurs. Trace data sampling can be restricted.

Time Measurement by Sequencer
Time can be measured using the sequencer. A time measurement timer called the
emulation timer is used for this purpose. When branching is made from a specified level
to another specified level, a timer value is specified. Up to two emulation timer values can
be fetched. This function is called the timer latch function.
■ Time Measurement by Sequencer
The time duration between two given points in a complex program flow can be measured using the timer
latch function.
The timing for the timer latch can be set using the SET SEQUENCE command; the latched timer values can
be displayed using the SHOW SEQUENCE command.
When a program starts execution, the emulation timer is initialized and then starts counting. Select either 1 μs
or 100 ns as the minimum measurement unit for the emulation timer. Set the measurement unit using the SET
TIMESCALE command.
When 1 μs is selected, the maximum measured time is about 70 minutes; when 100 ns is selected, the
maximum measured time is about 7 minutes. If the timer overflows during measurement, a warning message
is displayed when the timer value is displayed using the SHOW SEQUENCE command.

CHAPTER 2 DEPENDENCE FUNCTIONS
2.2.8
Real-time Trace
While execution a program, the address, data and status information, and the data
sampled by an external probe can be sampled in machine cycle units and stored in the
trace buffer. This function is called real-time trace.
In-depth analysis of a program execution history can be performed using the data
recorded by real-time trace.
There are two types of trace sampling: single trace, which traces from the start of
executing the program until the program is suspended, and multi trace, which starts
tracing when an event occurs.
■ Trace Buffer
The data recorded by sampling in machine cycle units, is called a frame.
The trace buffer can store 32K frames (32768). Since the trace buffer has a ring structure, when it becomes
full, it automatically returns to the start to overwrite existing data.
■ Trace Data
Data sampled by the trace function is called trace data.
The following data is sampled:
•
•
•
Address
Data
Status Information
- Access status: Read/Write/Internal access, etc.
- Device status: Instruction execution, Reset, Hold, etc.
- Queue status: Count of remaining bytes of instruction queue, etc.
- Data valid cycle information: Data valid/invalid
(Since the data signal is shared with other signals, it does not always output data. Therefore, the trace
samples information indicating whether or not the data is valid.)
•
•
External probe data
Sequencer execution level
■ Data Not Traced
The following data does not leave access data in the trace buffer.
- Data after tool hold
2
The F MC-16/16L/16LX/16H/16F family execute the following operation immediately after a break, etc.,
lets MCU suspend (a tool hold). This data is not displayed because it is deleted from the trace buffer.
- Access to address 100
- Access to FFFFDC to FFFFFF
- Portion of access data while native mode.
2
When operating in the native mode, the F MC-16/16L/16LX/16H/16F family of chips sometime performs
simultaneous multiple bus operations internally. However, in this emulator, monitoring of the internal
ROM bus takes precedence. Therefore, other bus data being accessed simultaneously may not be sampled
(in the debugging mode, all operations are sampled).

CHAPTER 2 DEPENDENCE FUNCTIONS
2.2.8.1
Single Trace
The single trace traces all data from the start of executing a program until the program is
aborted.
■ Function of Single Trace
The single trace is enabled by setting the event mode to normal mode using the SET MODE command.
The single trace traces all data from the start of executing a program until the program is suspended.
If the real-time trace function is enabled, data sampling continues execution to record the data in the trace
buffer while the GO, STEP, CALL commands are being executed.
As shown in Figure 2.2-10, suspend/resume trace sampling can be controlled by the event sequencer. Since
the delay can be set between the sequencer terminating the trigger and the end of tracing, the program flow
after an given event occurrence can be traced. The delay count is counted in pass cycle units, so it matches
the sampled trace data count. However, nothing can be sampled during the delay count if trace sampling is
suspended when the sequencer is terminated.
After the delay count ends, a break occurs normally due to the sequential break, but tracing can be terminated
without a break.
Furthermore, a program can be allowed to break when the trace buffer becomes full. This break is called a
trace-buffer-full break.

■ Frame Number and Step Number in Single Trace
The sampled trace data is numbered in frame units. This number is called the frame number.
When displaying trace data, the starting location in the trace buffer can be specified using the frame number.
The trace data at the point where the sequencer termination trigger occurs is numbered 0; trace data sampled
before reaching the trigger point is numbered negatively, and the data sampled after the trigger point is
If there is no sequencer termination trigger point available, the trace data sampled last is numbered 0.

This program can analyze the single trace result and sort the buffer data in execution instruction units (only
when the MCU execution mode is the debugging mode).
In this mode, the following information is grouped as one unit, and each information unit is numbered. This
number is called the step number.
- Execution instruction mnemonic information
- Data access information
- Device status information
The step number at the sequencer termination trigger is numbered 0; information sampled before reaching the
trigger point is numbered negatively, and information sampled after the trigger point is numbered positively.
If there is no sequencer termination trigger point, the information sampled last is numbered 0.

Setting Single Trace
The following settings (1) to (4) are required before executing single trace. Once these
settings have been made, trace data is sampled when a program is executed.
(1) Set event mode to normal mode.
(2) Enable trace function.
(3) Set events, sequencer, and delay count.
(4) Set trace-buffer-full break.
■ Setting Single Trace
The following settings are required before executing single trace. Once these settings have been made, trace
data is sampled when a program is executed.
(1) Set event mode to normal mode.
Use SET MODE command to make this setting.
(2) Enable trace function.
Use the ENABLE TRACE command. To disable the function, use the DISABLE TRACE command. The
default is Enable.
(3) Set events, sequencer, and delay count.
Trace sampling can be controlled by setting the sequencer for events. If this function is not needed, there
is no need of this setting.
To set events, use the SET EVENT command. To set the sequencer, use the SET SEQUENCE command.
Furthermore, set the delay count between sequencer termination and trace ending, and the break operation
(Break or Not Break) when the delay count ends. If the data after event occurrence is not required, there is
no need of this setting.
If Not Break is set, the trace terminates but no break occurs. To check trace data on-the-fly, use this setup
by executing the SET DELAY command.
Note:
When the sequencer termination causes a break (sequential break), the last executed machine cycle
is not sampled.

Multi trace
The multi trace samples data where an event trigger occurs for 8 frames before and after
the event trigger.
■ Multi Trace Function
Execute multi trace by setting the event mode to the multi trace mode using the SET MODE command.
The multi trace samples data where an event trigger occurs for 8 frames before and after the event trigger.
It can be used for tracing required only when a certain variable access occurs, instead of continuous tracing.
The trace data sampled at one event trigger (16 frames) is called a block. Since the trace buffer can hold 32K
frames, up to 2048 blocks can be sampled. Multi trace sampling terminates when the trace buffer becomes
full. At this point, a executing program can be allowed to break if necessary.

■ Multi Trace Frame Number
Sixteen frames of data are sampled each time an event occurs. This data unit is called a block, and each
sampled block is numbered starting from 0. This is called the block number.
A block is a collection of 8 frames of sampled data before and after the event trigger occurs. At the event
trigger is 0, trace data sampled before reaching the event trigger point is numbered negatively, and trace data
sampled after the event trigger point is numbered positively. These frame numbers are called local numbers
In addition to this local number, there is another set of frame numbers starting with the oldest data in the
trace buffer. This is called the global number. Since the trace buffer can hold 32K frames, frames are
numbered 1 to 32768 (See Figure 2.2-13).
To specify which frame data is displayed, use the global number or block and local numbers.

Display Format of Trace Data
A display format can be chosen by specifying a command identifier with the SHOW
TRACE command in the single trace, and with the SHOW MULTITRACE command in the
multi trace. The source line is also displayed if "Add source line" is selected using the
SET SOURCE command.
There are three formats to display trace data:
• Display in instruction execution order (Specify /INSTRUCTION.)
• Display all machine cycles
• Display in source line units
(Specify /CYCLE.)
(Specify /SOURCE.)
■ Display in Instruction Execution Order (Specify /INSTRUCTION.)
Trace sampling is performed at each machine cycle, but the sampling results are difficult to Display because
they are influenced by pre-fetch, etc. This is why the emulator has a function to allow it to analyze trace data
as much as possible. The resultant data is displayed after processes such as eliminating pre-fetch effects,
analyzing execution instructions, and sorting in instruction execution order are performed automatically.
However, this function can be specified only in the single trace while in the debugging mode.
In this mode, data can be displayed in the following format.

Reading Trace Data On-the-fly
Trace data can be read while executing a program. However, this is not possible during
sampling. Disable the trace function or terminate tracing before attempting to read trace
data.
■ Reading Trace Data On-the-fly in Single Trace
To disable the trace function, use the DISABLE TRACE command. Check whether or not the trace function
is currently enabled by executing the SHOW TRACE command with /STATUS specified, or by using the
built-in variable, %TRCSTAT.
Tracing terminates when the delay count ends after the sequencer has terminated. If Not Break is specified
here, tracing terminates without a break operation. It is possible to check whether or not tracing has
terminated by executing the SHOW TRACE command with /STATUS specified, or by using the built-in
variable, %TRCSAMP.
To read trace data, use the SHOW TRACE command; to search trace data, use the SEARCH TRACE
command. Use the SET DELAY command to set the delay count and break operation after the delay count.
[Example]
>GO
>>SHOW TRACE/STATUS
en/dis
buffer full = nobreak
sampling = on
>>SHOW TRACE/STATUS
en/dis = enable
buffer ful = nobreak
= enable
<- Trace sampling continues.

command. The same result is obtained from both methods.
● Using GUI for Saving Trace Data
1. Display the trace window.
- Select [View] - [Trace] menu.
2. Specify the name of the file in which to save trace data.
- Right-click on the trace window, and select [Save] from the shortcut menu. The [Save as] dialog
appears.
Specify the file name and where to save trace data. For details, refer to Section "4.4.8 Trace" in
"SOFTUNE Workbench Operation Manual".
● Using Command for Saving Trace Data
1. Save trace data.
- Execute the SHOW TRACE/FILE command.
For details, refer to Section "4.33 SHOW TRACE (type 3)" in "SOFTUNE Workbench Command
Reference Manual".
When additionally saving trace data in an existing file, execute the SHOW TRACE/FILE/APPEND
command.

Measuring Performance
It is possible to measure the time and pass count between two events. Repetitive
measurement can be performed while executing a program in real-time, and when done,
the data can be totaled and displayed.
Using this function enables the performance of a program to be measured. To measure
performance, set the event mode to the performance mode using the SET MODE
command.
■ Performance Measurement Function
The performance measurement function allows the time between two event occurrences to be measured and
the number of event occurrences to be counted. Up to 32767 event occurrences can be measured.
- Measuring Time
Measures time interval between two events.
Events can be set at 8 points (1 to 8). However, in the performance measurement mode, the intervals,
starting event number and ending event number are combined as follows. Four intervals have the
following fixed event number combination:
Interval
Starting Event Number
Ending Event Number
1
2
3
4
1
3
5
7
2
4
6
8
- Measuring Count
The specified events become performance measurement points automatically, and occurrences of that
particular event are counted.

CHAPTER 2 DEPENDENCE FUNCTIONS
2.2.9.1
Performance Measurement Procedures
Performance can be measured by the following procedure:
• Setting event mode.
• Setting minimum measurement unit for timer.
• Specify performance-buffer-full break.
• Setting events.
• Execute program.
• Display measurement result.
• Clear measurement result.
■ Setting Event Mode
Set the event mode to the performance mode using the SET MODE command. This enables the performance
measurement function.
[Example]
>SET MODE/PERFORMANCE
>
■ Setting Minimum Measurement Unit for Timer
Using the SET TIMESCALE command, choose either 1 μs or 100 ns as the minimum measurement unit for
the timer used to measure performance. The default is 1 μs.
When the minimum measurement unit is changed, the performance measurement values are cleared.
[Example]
>SET TIMERSCALE/1U
<- Set 1 μs as minimum unit.
>
■ Specify Performance-Buffer-Full Break
When the buffer for storing performance measurement data becomes full, a executing program can be
broken. This function is called the performance-buffer-full break. The performance buffer becomes full when
an event occurs 32767 times.
If the performance-buffer-full break is not specified, the performance measurement ends, but the program
does not break.
[Example]
>SET PERFORMANCE/NOBREAK
>
<- Specifying Not Break

Measuring Coverage
This emulator has the C0 coverage measurement function. Use this function to find what
percentage of an entire program has been executed.
■ Coverage Measurement Function
When testing a program, the program is executed with various test data input and the results are checked for
correctness. When the test is finished, every part of the entire program should have been executed. If any part
has not been executed, there is a possibility that the test is insufficient.
This emulator coverage function is used to find what percentage of the whole program has been executed. In
addition, details such as which addresses were not accessed can be checked.
This enables the measurement coverage range to be set and the access attributes to be measured.
To execute the C0 coverage, set a range within the code area and set the attribute to Code attribute. In
addition, specifying the Read/Write attribute and setting a range in the data area, permits checking the access
status of variables such as finding unused variables, etc.
Execution of coverage measurement is limited to the address space specified as the debug area.
Therefore, set the debug area in advance. However, the measurement attribute for coverage measurement can
be specified regardless of attributes of the debug area.
■ Coverage Measurement Procedures
The procedure for coverage measurement is as follows:
- Set range for coverage measurement: SET COVERAGE
- Measuring coverage:
- Displaying measurement result:
GO, STEP, CALL
SHOW COVERAGE
■ Coverage Measurement Operation
The following operation can be made in coverage measurement:
- Load/Save of coverage data:
LOAD/COVERAGE, SAVE/COVERAGE
- Abortion and resume of coverage measurement: ENABLE COVERAGE, DISABLE COVERAGE
- Clearing coverage data:
CLEAR COVERAGE
CANCEL COVERAGE
- Canceling coverage measurement range:
Note:
With MB2141 emulator, the code coverage is affected by a prefetch by the MCU. Note the prefetch
when using the COVERAGE function.

Coverage Measurement Procedures
The procedure for coverage measurement is as follows:
• Set range for coverage measurement : SET COVERAGE
• Measure coverage
: GO, STEP, CALL
• Display measurement result
: SHOW COVERAGE
■ Setting Range for Coverage Measurement
Use the SET COVERAGE command to set the measurement range. The measurement range can be set only
within the area defined as the debug area. Up to 32 ranges can be specified.
In addition, the access attribute for measurement can be specified. This attribute can be specified regardless
of the attributes of the debug area.
By specifying /AUTOMATIC for the command qualifier, the code area for the loaded module is set
automatically. However, the library code area is not set when the C compiler library is linked.
[Example]
>SET COVERAGE FF0000 .. FFFFFF
■ Measuring Coverage
When preparing for coverage measurement, execute the program.
Measurement starts when the program is executed by using the GO, STEP, or CALL command.
■ Displaying Coverage Measurement Result
To display the coverage measurement result, use the SHOW COVERAGE command. The following can be
displayed:
- Display coverage rate of total measurement area
- Displaying coverage rate of load module
- Summary of 16 addresses as one block

Sampling by External Probe
An external probe can be used to sample (input) data. There are two sampling types:
sampling the trace buffer as trace data, and sampling using the SHOW SAMPLING
command.
■ Sampling by External Probe
There are two sampling types to sample data using an external probe: sampling the trace buffer as trace data,
and sampling using the SHOW SAMPLING command.
When data is sampled as trace data, such data can be displayed by using the SHOW TRACE command or
SHOW MULTITRACE command, just as with other trace data. Sampling using the SHOW SAMPLING
command, samples data and displays its state.
In addition, by specifying external probe data as events, such events can be used for aborting a program, and
as multi trace and performance trigger points.
Events can be set by using the SET EVENT command.
■ External Probe Sampling Timing
Choose one of the following for the sampling timing while executing a program.
- At rising edge of internal clock (clock supplied by emulator)
- At rising edge of external clock (clock input from target)
- At falling edge of external clock (clock input from target)
Use the SET SAMPLING command to set up; to display the setup status use the SHOW SAMPLING
command.
When sampling data using the SHOW SAMPLING command, sampling is performed when the command is
executed and has nothing to do with the above settings.
[Example]
>>SET SAMPLING/INTERNAL
>>SHOW SAMPLING

■ Displaying and Setting External Probe Data
When a command that can use external probe data is executed, external probe data is displayed in 8-digit
binary or 2-digit hexadecimal format. The displayed bit order is in the order of the IC clip cable color code
order (Table 2.2-12). The MSB is at bit7 (Violet), and the LSB is at bit0 (Black). The bit represented by 1
means HIGH, while the bit represented by 0 means LOW. When data is input as command parameters, these
values are also used for input.

Setting Operating Environment
This section explains the operating environment setup.
■ Setting Operating Environment
For the emulator debugger for the MB2147-01, it is necessary to set the following operating environment.
Predefined default settings for all these setup items are enabled at startup. Therefore, setup is not required
when using the default settings. Adjusted settings can be used as new default settings from the next time.
- Monitoring program automatic loading
- MCU operation mode
- Debug area
- Memory mapping
- Debug function
- Event mode

CHAPTER 2 DEPENDENCE FUNCTIONS
2.3.1.1
Monitoring Program Automatic Loading
The MB2147-01 emulator can automatically update the monitoring program at emulator
startup.
■ Setting Monitoring Program Automatic Loading
When the MB2147-01 emulator is specified, data in the emulator can be checked at the beginning of
debugging to load an appropriate monitoring program and configuration binary data automatically into the
emulator.
The monitoring program and configuration binary data to be compared for update are in Lib\907 under the
directory where Workbench is installed.
Enable/disable the monitoring program automatic loading function by choosing [Environment] - [Debug
Environment Setup] - [Setup Wizard] menu.

CHAPTER 2 DEPENDENCE FUNCTIONS
2.3.1.2
MCU Operation Mode
There are two MCU operation modes as follows:
• Debugging Mode
• Native Mode
■ Setting MCU Operation Mode
Set the MCU operation mode.
There are two operation modes: the debugging mode, and the native mode.
Choose either one using the SET RUNMODE command.
At emulator start-up, the MCU is in the debugging mode.
The data access to internal bus may not be detected by emulator in native mode. Therefore, when the MCU
operation mode is changed, all the following are initialized:
- Data breakpoints
- Data monitoring break
- Event condition settings
- Sequencer settings
- Trace measurement settings and trace buffer
■ Debugging Mode
All the operations of evaluation chips can be analyzed, but their operating speed is slower than that of mass-
produced chips.
■ Native Mode
Evaluation chips have the same timing as mass-produced chips to control the operating speed. Note that the
Table 2.3-1 Restrictions on Debug Functions in Native Mode
Applicable series
Restrictions on debug functions
Common to all series
- When a data read access occurs on the MCU internal bus, the internal bus
access information is not sampled and stored in the trace buffer.
- Even when a data break or event (data access condition) is set for data on the
MCU internal bus, it may not become a break factor or sequencer-triggering
factor.
- The coverage function may fail to detect an access to data on the MCU
internal bus.

CHAPTER 2 DEPENDENCE FUNCTIONS
2.3.1.3
Debug Area
Set the intensive debugging area out of the whole memory space. The area functions are
enhanced.
■ Setting Debug Area
There are two debug areas: DEBUG3, and DEBUG4. A continuous 1 MB area (16 banks) is set for each area.
Set the debug area using the SET DEBUG command.
Setting the debug area enhances the coverage measurement function.
- Enhancement of Coverage Measurement Function
Setting the debug area enables the coverage measurement function. In coverage measurement, the
measurement range can be specified only within the area specified as the debug area. In 00 to 0F bank and
0F0 to 0FF bank, a breakpoint can be set without specifying the debug area. (DEBUG1, DEBUG2)

2.3.1.4
Memory Area Types
A unit in which memory is allocated is called an area. There are five different area types.
■ Memory Area Types
A unit to allocate memory is allocated is called an area. There are five different area types as follows:
- User Memory Area
Memory space in the user system is called the user memory area and this memory is called the user
memory. Up to four user memory areas can be set with no limit on the size of each area. Define a region
on a 256-byte boundary.
Access attributes can be set for each area; for example, CODE, READ, etc., can be set for ROM area, and
READ, WRITE, etc. can be set for RAM area. If the MCU attempts access in violation of these attributes,
the MCU operation is suspended and an error is displayed (guarded access break).
Memory manipulation commands can be executed in relation to emulation memory areas while MCU
execution is in progress.
To set the user memory area, use the SET MAP command.
- Emulation Memory Area
Memory space substituted for emulator memory is called the emulation memory area, and this memory is
called emulation memory.
It is possible to set up to four areas of 1 MB maximum (including an internal ROM area described later)
as emulation memory area. Define a region on a 256-byte boundary. An area larger than 1 MB can be
specified at one time but is divided internally into two or more 1 MB areas for management purposes.
Memory manipulation commands can be executed in relation to emulation memory areas while MCU
execution is in progress.
Emulation memory areas can be set using the SET MAP command.
Further, the access attributes can be set as with user memory areas.
Note:
Even if the MCU internal resources are set as emulation memory area, access is made to the internal
resources. Re-executing this setup may damage data.
- Internal ROM Area
The area where the emulator internal memory is substituted for internal ROM is called the internal ROM
area, and this memory is called the internal ROM memory.
The internal ROM area with a size up to 1 MB can be specified two areas.
An area larger than 1 MB can be specified at one time but is divided internally into two or more 1 MB
areas for management purposes.
Memory manipulation commands can be executed in relation to emulation memory areas while MCU
execution is in progress.
The internal ROM area is capable to set by the "Setup Map" dialog opening by "Debugger Memory Map"
from "Setup".

CHAPTER 2 DEPENDENCE FUNCTIONS
Note:
The internal memory area, it is set a suitable area automatically by the selected MCU.
- Internal ROM Image Area
Some types of MCUs have data in a specific area of internal ROM appearing to 00 bank. This specific
area is called the internal ROM image area.
The internal ROM image area is capable to set by the "Setup Map" dialog opening by "Debugger Memory
Map" from "Setup". This area attribute is automatically set to READ/CODE. The same data as in the
internal ROM area appears in the internal ROM image area.
Note that the debug information is only enabled for either one (one specified when linked). To debug only
the internal ROM image area, change the creation type of the load module file.
Note:
The internal memory area, it is set a suitable area automatically by the selected MCU.
- Undefined Area
A memory area that does not belong to any of the areas described above is part of the user memory area.
This area is specifically called the undefined area.
The undefined area can be set to either NOGUARD area, which can be accessed freely, or GUARD area,
which cannot be accessed. Select either setup for the whole undefined area. If the area attribute is set to
GUARD, a guarded access error occurs if access to this area is attempted.

CHAPTER 2 DEPENDENCE FUNCTIONS
2.3.1.5
Memory Mapping
Memory space can be allocated to the user memory and the emulation memory, etc., and
the attributes of these areas can be specified.
However, the MCU internal resources are not dependent on this mapping setup and
access is always made to the internal resources.
■ Access Attributes for Memory Areas
A guarded access break occurs if access is attempted in violation of these attributes while executing a
program.
When access to the user memory area and the emulation memory area is made using program commands,
such access is allowed regardless of the CODE, READ, WRITE attributes. However, access to memory with
the GUARD attribute in the undefined area, causes an error.
Table 2.3-2 Types of Access Attributes
Area
Attribute
CODE
Description
User Memory
Instruction Execution Enabled
Data Read Enabled
Emulation Memory
READ
WRITE
Data Write Enabled
Undefined
GUARD
NOGUARD
Access Disabled
No check of access attribute
When access is made to an area without the WRITE attribute by executing a program, a guarded access break
occurs after the data has been rewritten if the access target is the user memory. However, if the access target
is the emulation memory, the break occurs before rewriting. In other words, write-protection (memory data
cannot be overwritten by writing) can be set for the emulation memory area by not specifying the WRITE
attribute for the area.
This write-protection is only enabled for access made by executing a program, and is not applicable to access
by commands.

Notes on Commands for Executing Program
When using commands to execute a program, there are several points to note.
■ Notes on GO Command
For the GO command, two breakpoints that are valid only while executing commands can be set. However,
care is required in setting these breakpoints.
- Invalid Breakpoints
- No break occurs when a breakpoint is set at the instruction immediately after the following instructions.

- No break occurs when breakpoint set at address other than starting address of instruction.
- No break occurs when both following conditions met at one time.
- Instruction for which breakpoint set starts from odd-address,
- Preceding instruction longer than 2 bytes length, and breakpoint already set at last 1-byte address of
preceding instruction (This "already-set" breakpoint is an invalid breakpoint that won't break, because
it has been set at an address other than the starting address of an instruction).
- Abnormal Breakpoint
Setting a breakpoint at the instruction immediately after string instructions listed below, may cause a
break in the middle of the string instruction without executing the instruction to the end.

CHAPTER 2 DEPENDENCE FUNCTIONS
■ Notes on STEP Command
- Exceptional Step Execution
When executing the instructions listed in the notes on the GO command as invalid breakpoints and
abnormal breakpoints, such instructions and the next instruction are executed as a single instruction.
Furthermore, if such instructions are continuous, then all these continuous instructions and the next
instruction are executed as a single instruction.
- Step Execution that won't Break
Note that no break occurs after step operation when both the following conditions are met at one time.
- When step instruction longer than 2 bytes and last code ends at even address
- When breakpoint already set at last address (This "already-set" breakpoint is an invalid breakpoint that
won't break, because it has been set at an address other than the starting address of an instruction.)
■ Controlling Watchdog Timer
It is possible to select "No reset generated by watchdog timer counter overflow" while executing a program
using the GO, STEP, CALL commands.
Use the ENABLE WATCHDOG, DISABLE WATCHDOG commands to control the watchdog timer.
- ENABLE WATCHDOG
- DISABLE WATCHDOG

Guarded Access Break
The guarded access break is an abortion of the program execution that happens when
the violation to the set access attribute, doing the access, and guarded (An undefined
area cannot be accessed) area are accessed.
■ Guarded Access Break
A guarded access break aborts a executing program when access is made in violation of the access attribute
set by using the [Setup] - [Memory Map] menu, and access is attempted to a guarded area (access-disabled
area in undefined area).
There are three types of the following in Guarded access break.
Code guarded
When the instruction execution is done to the area without the code attribute, the break is done.
Read guarded
When the area without the read attribute is read, the break is done.
Write guarded
When the area without the write attribute is write, the break is done.
If a guarded access occurs while executing a program, the following message is displayed on the Status Bar
and the program is aborted.
Break at Address by guarded access {code/read/write} at Access address
Note:
Code Guarded is affected by pre-fetching.

Control by Sequencer
This emulator has a sequencer to control events. By using this sequencer, sampling of
breaks or traces can be controlled while monitoring program flow (sequence). A break
caused by this function is called a sequential break.
■ Control by Sequencer
One event can be set for one level.
The sequencer always moves from Level 1 through Level 2 to Level 3. One event can be specified as a
sequencer restart condition.
When the debug function on MB2147-01 is set to Trace Enhancement mode, it is possible to control a trace
by a sequencer.

■ Setting Events
The emulator can monitor the MCU bus operation, and generate a trigger for a sequencer at a specified
condition. This function is called an event.
In the event, code (/CODE) and data access (/READ/WRITE) can be specified.
Up to eight events can be set. However, since hardware is shared with trace triggers, the actual numbers is
calculated as follows.
Current maximum constant of events
= 8 - (current number of trace trigger settings + current number of data monitoring break settings)

CHAPTER 2 DEPENDENCE FUNCTIONS
2.3.6
Real-time Trace
While execution a program, the address, data and status information, and the data
sampled by an external probe can be sampled in machine cycle units and stored in the
trace buffer. This function is called real-time trace.
In-depth analysis of a program execution history can be performed using the data
recorded by real-time trace.
■ Trace Buffer
The data recorded by sampling in machine cycle units, is called a frame.
The trace buffer can store 64K frames (65536). Since the trace buffer has a ring structure, when it becomes
full, it automatically returns to the start to overwrite existing data.
■ Trace Data
Data sampled by the trace function is called trace data.
The following data is sampled:
•
•
•
Address
Data
Status Information
- Access status: Read/Write/Internal access, etc.
- Device status: Instruction execution, Reset, Hold, etc.
- Queue status: Count of remaining bytes of instruction queue, etc.
- Data valid cycle information: Data valid/invalid
(Since the data signal is shared with other signals, it does not always output data. Therefore, the trace
samples information indicating whether or not the data is valid.)
•
Execution time based on the previous trace frame (in 25-ns units)
■ Data Not Traced
The following data does not leave access data in the trace buffer.
- Portion of access data while in native mode.
2
When operating in the native mode, the F MC-16L/16LX family of chips sometime performs
simultaneous multiple bus operations internally. However, in this emulator, monitoring of the internal
ROM bus takes precedence. Therefore, other bus data being accessed simultaneously may not be sampled
(in the debugging mode, all operations are sampled).
■ Frame number
A number is assigned to each frame of sampled trace data. This number is called a frame number.
The frame number is used to specify the display start position of the trace buffer. The value 0 is assigned to
trace data at the triggering position for sequencer termination. Negative values are assigned to trace data that
have been sampled before arrival at the triggering position (See Figure 2.3-2).
If there is no triggering position for sequencer termination, the value 0 is assigned to the last-sampled trace
data.

■ Trace Filter
To make effective use of the limited trace buffer capacity, in addition to the code fetch function, a trace filter
function is incorporated to provide a means of acquiring information about data accesses to a specific region.
The data trace filter function allows the following values to be specified for two regions:
- Address
- Address mask
- Access attribute (read/write)
Another function can be used so that sampling of redundant frames occupying two or more trace frames, such
as SLEEP and READY, can be reduced to sampling of one frame.
■ Trace Trigger Setup
When preselected conditions are met during MCU bus operation monitoring, a trigger for starting a trace can
be generated. This function is called a trace trigger.
For the use of the trace trigger function, specify the code (/CODE) and data access (/READ/WRITE).
Up to 8 trace triggers can be preset each for code attribute and data access attribute. However, actually, the
maximum number of trace triggers is determined as indicated below because the common hardware is used
with events.
Current trace trigger maximum constant
= 8 - (current data monitoring break count setting + current event count setting)
For the trace trigger setup conditions that can be defined, see Table 2.3-4.
For trace trigger setup, use the following commands:
- SET TRACETRIGGER :
- CANCEL TRACETRIGGER :
- SHOW TRACE/STATUS :
Sets trace trigger
Deletes trace trigger
Displays trace setup status

■ Setting Data Monitoring Trace Trigger
When the debug function on MB2147-01 is set to Trace Enhancement mode, it is possible to set a trace
trigger by a data monitoring condition.
Current maximum constant of data monitoring trace triggers
= 8 - (number of data monitoring break settings + number of trace trigger settings +
current number of event settings)
Use the following commands to set the data monitoring trace trigger.
SET TRACETRIGGER/DATAWATCH :
Sets a data monitoring trace trigger
CANCEL TRACETRIGGER/DATAWATCH : Deletes a data monitoring trace trigger
SHOW TRACETRIGGER/DATAWATCH :
Displays a data monitoring trace trigger
■ Trace Control during Executing User Program
In MB2147-01, the trace control is enabled while the user program is executed. However, it is necessary to
end the trace execution.
The parameter that can be controlled is as follows;
•
•
•
•
•
Set trace trigger
Set filtering area
Display trace data
Clear trace data
Search trace data
*
•
•
•

*: Only when the debugging is in trace enhancement mode.
Notes:
• The trace execution means the trace data acquisition is "Tracing" or "Pause".
• The following method exists to terminate the trace execution.
1. Forced termination of trace execution
- Trace window - Shortcut menu [Forced termination]
- Trace toolbar [Forced termination] button
2. Trace trigger (Termination)
- SET TRACETRIGGER command
- Trace trigger setting dialog

Setting Single Trace
To perform a single trace, follow steps 1 through 4 below. When a program is executed
after completion of the following steps, trace data is sampled.
1) Set an event mode to single trace mode.
2) Enable the trace function.
3) Perform the event and sequencer setup.
4) Perform trace buffer full break setup.
■ Setting Trace
To perform a single trace, complete the following setup steps. When a program is executed after completion
of the steps, trace data is sampled.
1) Set an event mode to single trace mode.
Use SET MODE command for this setting.
2) Enable the trace functions.
Enable the trace function using the ENABLE TRACE command.
To disable the trace function, use the DISABLE TRACE command.
Note that the trace function is enabled by default when the program is launched.
3) Perform the event and sequencer setup.
Use of a trace trigger makes it possible to control trace sampling and make effective use of the limited
trace buffer capacity. If there is no such necessity, setup need not be performed.
With a trace trigger, it is possible to specify the start and stop of trace sampling to be performed at a
trigger hit.
To use a trace trigger, input the SET TRACE/TRIGGER command and then perform trace trigger setup
using the SET TRACETRIGGER command.
4) Perform trace buffer full break setup.
A break can be invoked when the trace buffer becomes full.
To perform setup, use the SET TRACE command. This break feature is disabled when the program starts.
To view the setting, use SHOW TRACE/STATUS.

Multi Trace
Only when an event trigger occurred, the multi trace samples data before and after the
event trigger.
■ Multi Trace
To use the multi trace function, the SET MODE command is set to the following mode.
Debug function: "Trace Enhancement" mode
Event mode: "Multi trace" mode
The multi trace samples data where an event trigger (trace end trigger) occurs before and after the event
trigger.
It can be used for tracing required only when a certain variable access occurs, instead of continuous tracing.
The trace data sampled at one event trigger is called a block. The trace buffer for multi trace in MB2147-01
can hold 64K frames. When dividing into blocks, select the size of one block from 128/256/512/1024 frame.
64 to 512 blocks can be sampled according to the block size.
There are the following two event triggers of the multi trace.
•
•
Trace end trigger:
Change to the next block in the point that becomes a hit.
Multi trace end trigger:
Terminate the trace acquisition in the point that becomes a hit.

■ Multi Trace Frame Number
Data of 128 to 1024 frames can be sampled according to the block size at each time an event occurs (trace
end trigger). This data unit is called a block, and each sampled block is numbered starting from 0. This is
called the block number.
A block is a collection of sampled data before and after the event trigger occurs. At the event trigger is 0,
trace data sampled before reaching the event trigger point is numbered negatively, and trace data sampled
after the event trigger point is numbered positively. These frame numbers are called local numbers (See
In addition to this local number, there is another set of frame numbers starting 1 with the oldest data in the
trace buffer. This is called the global number. Since the trace buffer can hold 64K frames, frames are
numbered 1 to 65536 (See Figure 2.3-5).
To specify which frame data is displayed, use the global number or block and local numbers.

■ Trace Delay
The trace data which is acquired after one event occurrence is called a trace delay. There are two types of
trace delay depending on the event hit.
When the trace end trigger (event) hit occurs, the delay can be set within the scope of the block size (128 to
1024 frames). A block is sampled data in combination with the trace data before the event hit and the trace
delay.
When the multi trace end trigger (event) hit occurs, the delay is acquired as many as the number of
occurrence of the subsequent trace end trigger hit.
Example: If you want to get the trace delay for three blocks, the event hit needs to occur four times.

2.3.6.6
Display Format of Trace Data
The trace data display format can be selected by running the SHOW TRACE command
with a command modifier specified. If setup is completed with the SET SOURCE
command so as to select a source line addition mode, a source line is attached to the
displayed trace data.
There are three formats to display trace data:
• Display in instruction execution order (Specify /INSTRUCTION.)
• Display all machine cycles
• Display in source line units
(Specify /CYCLE.)
(Specify /SOURCE.)
■ Display in Instruction Execution Order (Specify /INSTRUCTION.)
Trace sampling is performed at each machine cycle, but the sampling results are difficult to display because
they are influenced by pre-fetch, etc. This is why the emulator has a function to allow it to analyze trace data
as much as possible. The resultant data is displayed after processes such as eliminating pre-fetch effects,
analyzing execution instructions, and sorting in instruction execution order are performed automatically.
However, this function can be specified only in the single trace while in the debugging mode.
In this mode, data can be displayed in the following format.

Reading Trace Data On-the-fly
Trace data can be read while executing a program. However, this is not possible during
sampling. Disable the trace function or terminate tracing before attempting to read trace
data.
■ Reading Trace Data On-the-fly
To disable the trace function, use the DISABLE TRACE command. Check whether or not the trace function
is currently enabled by executing the SHOW TRACE command with /STATUS specified, or by using the
built-in variable, %TRCSTAT.
Tracing terminates when the delay count ends after the sequencer has terminated. If Not Break is specified
here, tracing terminates without a break operation. It is possible to check whether or not tracing has
terminated by executing the SHOW TRACE command with /STATUS specified, or by using the built-in
variable, %TRCSAMP.
To read trace data, use the SHOW TRACE command; to search trace data, use the SEARCH TRACE
command. Use the SET DELAY command to set the delay count and break operation after the delay count.

Saving Trace Data
This section explains how to save trace data.
■ Saving Trace Data
Trace data can be saved in a specified file.
The following two methods are available to save trace data: using GUI (window or dialog) and using only the
command. The same result is obtained from both methods.
● Using GUI for Saving Trace Data
1. Display the trace window.
- Select [View] - [Trace] menu.
2. Specify the name of the file in which to save trace data.
- Right-click on the trace window, and select [Save] from the shortcut menu. The [Save as] dialog
appears.
Specify the file name and where to save trace data. For details, refer to Section "4.4.8 Trace" in
"SOFTUNE Workbench Operation Manual".
● Using Command for Saving Trace Data
1. Save trace data.
- Execute the SHOW TRACE/FILE command.
For details, refer to Section "4.33 SHOW TRACE (type 3)" in "SOFTUNE Workbench Command
Reference Manual".

Measuring Performance
It is possible to measure the time and pass count between two events. Repetitive
measurement can be performed while executing a program in real-time, and when done,
the data can be totaled and displayed.
Using this function enables the performance of a program to be measured. To measure
performance, set the event mode to the performance mode using the SET MODE
command.
■ Performance Measurement Function
The performance measurement allows the time between two event occurrences to be measured and the
number of event occurrences to be counted. Up to 65535 event occurrences can be measured.
● Measuring Time
Measures time interval between two events.
Events can be set at 8 points (1 to 8). However, in the performance measurement mode, the intervals, starting
event number and ending event number are combined as follows. Four intervals have the following fixed
event number combination:
Interval
Starting Event Number
Ending Event Number
1
2
3
4

Performance Measurement Procedures
Performance can be measured by the following procedure:
• Setting event mode.
• Setting minimum measurement unit for timer.
• Specify performance-buffer-full break.
• Setting events.
• Execute program.
• Display measurement result.
• Clear measurement result.
■ Setting Event Mode
Set the event mode to the performance mode using the SET MODE command. This enables the performance
measurement function.
[Example]
>SET MODE/PERFORMANCE
>
■ Setting Minimum Measurement Unit for Timer
It is 1ns as the minimum measurement unit for the timer used to measure performance. And a resolution of
performance measurement data is 25ns.
■ Specify Performance-Buffer-Full Break
When the buffer for storing performance measurement data becomes full, a executing program can be
broken. This function is called the performance-buffer-full break. The performance buffer becomes full when
an event occurs 65535 times.
If the performance-buffer-full break is not specified, the performance measurement ends, but the program
does not break.
[Example]
>SET PERFORMANCE/NOBREAK
>
<- Specifying Not Break
■ Setting Events
Set events using the SET EVENT command.
The starting/ending point of time measurement and points to measure pass count are specified by events.
Events at 8 points (1 to 8) can be set. However, in the performance measurement, the intervals, starting event
number and ending event number are fixed in the following combination.
● Measuring Time
Four intervals have the following fixed event number combination.

Measuring Coverage
This emulator has the C0 coverage measurement function. Use this function to find what
percentage of an entire program has been executed.
■ Coverage Measurement Function
When testing a program, the program is executed with various test data input and the results are checked for
correctness. When the test is finished, every part of the entire program should have been executed. If any part
has not been executed, there is a possibility that the test is insufficient.
This emulator coverage function is used to find what percentage of the whole program has been executed. In
addition, details such as which addresses were not accessed can be checked.
This enables the measurement coverage range to be set.
To execute the C0 coverage, set a range within the code area. In addition, setting a range in the data area,
permits checking the access status of variables such as finding unused variables, etc.
Execution of coverage measurement is limited to the address space specified as the debug area.
Therefore, set the debug area in advance.
This is operable by enabling the coverage function on the chip tabs: [Environment] - [Setup Debugging
Environment] - [Debug Environment] menu.
■ Coverage Measurement Procedures
The procedure for coverage measurement is as follows:
1. Set range for coverage measurement:SET COVERAGE
2. Measuring coverage:GO, STEP, CALL
3. Displaying measurement result:SHOW COVERAGE
■ Coverage Measurement Operation
The following operation can be made in coverage measurement:
- Load/Save of coverage data:
LOAD/COVERAGE, SAVE/COVERAGE
- Abortion and resume of coverage measurement: ENABLE COVERAGE, DISABLE COVERAGE
- Clearing coverage data:
CLEAR COVERAGE
CANCEL COVERAGE
- Canceling coverage measurement range:

■ About Log File
Following restrictions are made for the size of log file to be created depending on file system where log file is
stored.
FAT:Up to 2GB
FAT32: Up to 4GB
NTFS: No limit.
Others: No limit
If the file system is FAT, FAT32, file name will be changed and continue logging when the size of file is
exceeded limitation.
Note:
If a file is already existed, log file will be overwritten
Example of an operation
If the size of file is exceeded it's limitation, log file will be created as
filename.srl --> filename#1.srl
If the size gets exceeded the limitation again, log will be shown and changes as follows.
filename#1.srl --> filename#2.srl
•
•
filename#N-1.srl --> filename#N.srl
Notes:
• Log files should only be saved to built-in HDD only. If network, external HDD or external disk (CD,
DVD, MO etc) are used as destination for saving files, files will not be saved.
• More than 500MB memory is required for disk to save log file of RAM checker. If the capacity of
disk become less than 500MB, logging will be halted.

CHAPTER 2 DEPENDENCE FUNCTIONS
■ RAM Checker Viewer
The RAM Checker Viewer is a tool for graphically displaying changes in data values with the passage of
time. There are the following three types of data display formats:
- Bit display (Logic Analyzer image)
- Data value display (bent line graph)
- Bit/data value display (simultaneous display bit and data values)
It displays halting CPU, trigger points and the Data Lost as other information.
To halt the operation of CPU, stop mode for low power consumption and power off condition at power-on
debug function will be saved to log.
Trigger point uses event-hit in SOFTUNE Workbench. It is necessary to set event in SOFTUNE Workbench
to use trigger point. When the event-hit is appeared, its information is recorded in a log.
The Data Lost is appeared in the following two causes.
- The Data Lost caused by hardware
The emulator obtains data access history of RAM at intervals of 1 ms, but if two or more data access
the same address within 1 ms, the emulator obtains only the data of the last access.
Data loss caused by hardware indicates that several data accessed the same address.
- The Data Lost caused by software
SOFTUNE Workbench obtains data from the emulator at intervals of 100 ms. However, other
application may disable the SOFTUNE Workbench for obtaining data at intervals of 100 ms.
In such cases, the RAM Checker Viewer does not display a portion of the data, but displays the invalid
time band graphically.
Note:
If logging is halted by break or stopping an execution, software lost could be appeared for 1ms to
15ms. at the end of log. This happens because log after stopping an execution will be obtained until
logging is stopped, thus this is not an actual data lost.
For details of RAM Checker viewer, refer to RAM Checker Viewer Manual (FswbRView.pdf) and Help.

2.4.1
Setting Operating Environment
This section explains the operating environment setup.
■ Setting Operating Environment
For the emulator debugger for the MB2147-05, it is necessary to set the following operating environment.
Predefined default settings for all these setup items are enabled at startup. Therefore, setup is not required
when using the default settings. Adjusted settings can be used as new default settings from the next time.
- Monitoring program automatic loading
- MCU operation mode
- Debug area
- Memory mapping

CHAPTER 2 DEPENDENCE FUNCTIONS
2.4.1.1
Monitoring Program Automatic Loading
Emulators for MB2147-05 can automatically update the monitoring program at emulator
startup.
■ Monitoring Program Automatic Loading
When the emulators for MB2147-05 is specified, data in the emulator can be checked at the beginning of
debugging to load an appropriate monitoring program and configuration binary data automatically into the
emulator.
The monitoring program and configuration binary data to be compared for update are in Lib\907 under the
directory where Workbench is installed.
Enable/disable the monitoring program automatic loading function by choosing [Environment] - [Debugging
Environment Setup] - [Setup Wizard] menu.

CHAPTER 2 DEPENDENCE FUNCTIONS
2.4.1.2
MCU Operation Mode
There are two MCU operation modes as follows:
• Debugging Mode
• Native Mode
■ Setting MCU Operation Mode
Set the MCU operation mode.
There are two operation modes: the debugging mode, and the native mode. Choose either one using the SET
RUNMODE command.
At emulator start-up, the MCU is in the debugging mode.
The data access to internal bus may not be detected by emulator in native mode. Therefore, when the MCU
operation mode is changed, all the following are initialized:
- Data breakpoints
- Trace measurement settings and trace buffer
■ Debugging Mode
All the operations of evaluation chips can be analyzed, but their operating speed is slower than that of mass-
produced chips.
■ Native Mode
Evaluation chips have the same timing as mass-produced chips to control the operating speed. Note that the
restrictions the shown in Table 2.4-1 are imposed on the debug functions.
Table 2.4-1 Restrictions on Debug Functions in Native Mode
Applicable series
Restrictions on debug functions
Common to all series
- When a data read access occurs on the MCU internal bus, the internal
bus access information is not sampled and stored in the trace buffer.
- Even when a data break or event (data access condition) is set for
data on the MCU internal bus, it may not become a break factor or
sequencer-triggering factor.
- The coverage function may fail to detect an access to data on the
MCU internal bus.

CHAPTER 2 DEPENDENCE FUNCTIONS
2.4.1.3
Debug Area
Set the intensive debugging area out of the whole memory space. The area functions are
enhanced.
■ Setting Debug Area
There are two debug areas: DEBUG3, and DEBUG4. A continuous 1 MB area (16 banks) is set for each area.
Set the debug area using the SET DEBUG command.
Setting the debug area enhances the breakpoint function.
- Enhancement of Breakpoints
Up to six breakpoints (not including temporary breakpoints set using GO command) can be set when the
debug area has not yet been set.
When setting the debug area as the CODE attribute, up to 65535 breakpoints can be set if they are within
the area. At this time, up to six breakpoints can be set for an area other than the debug area, but the total
count of breakpoints must not exceed 65535. In 00 to 0F bank and 0F0 to 0FF bank, a breakpoint can be
set without specifying the debug area. (DEBUG1, DEBUG2)

CHAPTER 2 DEPENDENCE FUNCTIONS
2.4.1.4
Memory Area Types
A unit in which memory is allocated is called an area. There are five different area types.
■ Memory Area Types
A unit to allocate memory is allocated is called an area. There are five different area types as follows:
- User Memory Area
Memory space in the user system is called the user memory area and this memory is called the user
memory. Up to four user memory areas can be set with no limit on the size of each area. Define a region
on a 256-byte boundary.
Access attributes can be set for each area; for example, CODE, READ, etc., can be set for ROM area, and
READ, WRITE, etc. can be set for RAM area. If the MCU attempts access in violation of these attributes,
the MCU operation is suspended and an error is displayed (guarded access break).
To set the user memory area, use the SET MAP command.
- Emulation Memory Area
Memory space substituted for emulator memory is called the emulation memory area, and this memory is
called emulation memory.
It is possible to set up to four areas of 256-KB maximum (including an internal ROM area described later)
as emulation memory area. Define a region on a 256-byte boundary. An area larger than 256-KB can be
specified at one time but is divided internally into two or more 256-KB areas for management purposes.
Memory manipulation commands can be executed in relation to emulation memory areas while MCU
execution is in progress.
Emulation memory areas can be set using the SET MAP command.
Further, the access attributes can be set as with user memory areas.
Note:
Even if the MCU internal resources are set as emulation memory area, access is made to the internal
resources.
- Internal ROM Area
The area where the emulator internal memory is substituted for internal ROM is called the internal ROM
area, and this memory is called the internal ROM memory.
Only one internal ROM area with a size up to 256-KB can be specified.
The internal ROM area with a size up to 1 MB can be specified 2 areas.
Memory manipulation commands can be executed in relation to emulation memory areas while MCU
execution is in progress.
The internal ROM area is capable to set by the "Setup Map" dialog opening by "Debugger Memory Map...
" from "Setup".

CHAPTER 2 DEPENDENCE FUNCTIONS
Note:
The internal memory area, it is set a suitable area automatically by the selected MCU.
- Internal ROM Image Area
Some types of MCUs have data in a specific area of internal ROM appearing to 00 bank. This specific
area is called the internal ROM image area.
The internal ROM image area is capable to set by the "Setup Map" dialog opening by "Debugger Memory
Map... " from "Setup". This area attribute is automatically set to READ/CODE. The same data as in the
internal ROM area appears in the internal ROM image area.
Note that the debug information is only enabled for either one (one specified when linked). To debug only
the internal ROM image area, change the creation type of the load module file.
Note:
The internal memory area, it is set a suitable area automatically by the selected MCU.
- Undefined Area
A memory area that does not belong to any of the areas described above is part of the user memory area.
This area is specifically called the undefined area.
The undefined area can be set to either NOGUARD area, which can be accessed freely, or GUARD area,
which cannot be accessed. Select either setup for the whole undefined area. If the area attribute is set to
GUARD, a guarded access error occurs if access to this area is attempted.

CHAPTER 2 DEPENDENCE FUNCTIONS
2.4.1.5
Memory Mapping
Memory space can be allocated to the user memory and the emulation memory, etc., and
the attributes of these areas can be specified.
However, the MCU internal resources are not dependent on this mapping setup and
access is always made to the internal resources.
■ Access Attributes for Memory Areas
A guarded memory access break occurs if access is attempted in violation of these attributes while executing
a program.
When access to the user memory area and the emulation memory area is made using program commands,
such access is allowed regardless of the CODE, READ, WRITE attributes. However, access to memory with
the GUARD attribute in the undefined area, causes an error.
Table 2.4-2 Types of Access Attributes
Area
Attribute
Description
CODE
Instruction Execution Enabled
Data Read Enabled
User Memory
Emulation Memory
READ
WRITE
GUARD
Data Write Enabled
Access Disabled
Undefined
NOGUARD
No check of access attribute
When access is made to an area without the WRITE attribute by executing a program, a guarded access break
occurs after the data has been rewritten if the access target is the user memory. However, if the access target
is the emulation memory, the break occurs before rewriting. In other words, write-protection (memory data
cannot be overwritten by writing) can be set for the emulation memory area by not specifying the WRITE
attribute for the area.
This write-protection is only enabled for access made by executing a program, and is not applicable to access
by commands.

Notes on Commands for Executing Program
When using commands to execute a program, there are several points to note.
■ Notes on GO Command
For the GO command, two breakpoints that are valid only while executing commands can be set. However,
care is required in setting these breakpoints.
- Invalid Breakpoints
- No break occurs when a breakpoint is set at the instruction immediately after the following instructions.
PCB
DTB
NCC
SPB
ADB
CNR

F MC-16L/16LX
MOV ILM,#imm8
ORCCR,#imm8
ANDCCR,#imm8
POPW PS
- No break occurs when breakpoint set at address other than starting address of instruction.
- No break occurs when both following conditions met at one time.
- Instruction for which breakpoint set starts from odd-address,
- Preceding instruction longer than 2 bytes length, and breakpoint already set at last 1-byte address of
preceding instruction (This "already-set" breakpoint is an invalid breakpoint that won't break, because
it has been set at an address other than the starting address of an instruction).
- Abnormal Breakpoint
Setting a breakpoint at the instruction immediately after string instructions listed below, may cause a
break in the middle of the string instruction without executing the instruction to the end.

■ Notes on STEP Command
● Exceptional Step Execution
When executing the instructions listed in the notes on the GO command as invalid breakpoints and abnormal
breakpoints, such instructions and the next instruction are executed as a single instruction. Furthermore, if
such instructions are continuous, then all these continuous instructions and the next instruction are executed
as a single instruction.
● Step Execution that won't Break
Note that no break occurs after step operation when both the following conditions are met at one time.
•
•
When step instruction longer than 2 bytes length and last code ends at even address
When breakpoint already set at last address (This "already-set" breakpoint is an invalid breakpoint that
won't break, because it has been set at an address other than the starting address of an instruction.)
■ Controlling Watchdog Timer
It is possible to select "No reset generated by watchdog timer counter overflow" while executing a program
using the GO, STEP, CALL commands.
Use the ENABLE WATCHDOG, DISABLE WATCHDOG commands to control the watchdog timer.
- ENABLE WATCHDOG
- DISABLE WATCHDOG
:
:
Reset generated by watchdog timer counter overflow
No reset generated by watchdog timer counter overflow
The start-up default in this program is "Reset generated by watchdog timer counter overflow".

Code Break
It is a function to abort the program execution by observing the specified address. The
break is done before an instruction the specified address is executed.
■ Code Break
It is a function to abort the program execution by observing the specified address. The break is done before
an instruction the specified address is executed. It is possible to set it in this 65535 debuggers. However, it is
necessary to set the debugging area as a code break area.
When a break occurs due to a code break, the following message is displayed on the Status Bar.
Break at Address by breakpoint
■ Setting Method
The code break is controlled by the following method.
•
•
•
Command
- SET BREAK
Refer to "3.1 SET BREAK (type 1)" in "SOFTUNE Workbench Command Reference Manual".
Dialog
- Breakpoints set dialog [Code] tab
Refer to "4.6.4 Breakpoint" in "SOFTUNE Workbench Operation Manual".
Window
- Source window/Disassembly window
■ Notes on Code Break
There are several points to note in using code break. First, some points affecting code break are explained.
● Invalid Breakpoints
•
No break occurs when a breakpoint is set at the instruction immediately after the following instructions.
2
F MC-16/16L/16LX/16H: • PCB • DTB • NCC • ADB • SPB • CNR
• MOV ILM,#imm8 • AND CCR,#imm8
• OR CCR,#imm8
• POPW PS
2
F MC-16F:
• PCB • DTB • NCC • ADB • SPB • CNR
•
•
No break occurs when breakpoint set at address other than starting address of instruction.
No break occurs when both following conditions met at one time.
- Instruction for which breakpoint set starts from odd-address
- Preceding instruction longer than 2 bytes length, and breakpoint already set at last 1-byte address of
preceding instruction (This "already-set" breakpoint is an invalid breakpoint that won't break, because
it has been set at an address other than the starting address of an instruction.)

● Abnormal Breakpoint
•
Setting a breakpoint at the instruction immediately after string instructions listed below, may cause a
break in the middle of the string instruction without executing the instruction to the end.

Here are some additional points about the effects on other commands.
● Dangerous Breakpoints
•
Never set a breakpoint at an address other than the instruction starting address. If a breakpoint is the last 1
byte of an instruction longer than 2 bytes length, and if such an address is even, the following abnormal
operation will result:
- If instruction executed by STEP command, instruction execution not aborted.
- If breakpoint specified with GO command, set at instruction immediately after such instruction, the
breakpoint does not break.
Note:
When the debugging area is set again, all breakpoints in the area are cleared.

Data Break
The data break is a function to abort the program execution when the data access (read
or write) is done to the address specified while executing the program.
■ Data Break
The data break is a function to abort the program execution when MCU accesses data as for a specified
address.
When a break occurs due to a data break, the following message is displayed on the Status Bar.
Break at Address by databreak at Access address
■ Setting Method
The data break is controlled by the following method.
•

CHAPTER 2 DEPENDENCE FUNCTIONS
2.4.4.3
Guarded Access Break
The guarded access break is an abortion of the program execution that happens when
the violation to the set access attribute, doing the access, and guarded (An undefined
area cannot be accessed) area are accessed.
■ Guarded Access Break
A guarded access break aborts a executing program when access is made in violation of the access attribute
set by using the [Setup] - [Memory Map] menu, and access is attempted to a guarded area (access-disabled
area in undefined area).
There are three types of the following in Guarded access break.
Code guarded
When the instruction execution is done to the area without the code attribute, the break is done.
Read guarded
When the area without the read attribute is read, the break is done.
Write guarded
When the area without the write attribute is write, the break is done.
If a guarded access occurs while executing a program, the following message is displayed on the Status Bar
and the program is aborted.
Break at Address by guarded access {code/read/write} at Access address
Note:
Code Guarded is affected by pre-fetching.
2
The F MC-16L/16LX/16/16H family pre-fetch up to 4 bytes. So, when setting the program area
mapping, set a little larger area (5 bytes max.) than the program area actually used.
2
Similarly, the F MC-16F family pre-fetch up to 8 bytes. So, when setting the program area mapping,
set a little larger area (9 bytes max.) than the program area actually used.

It is a function to abort the execution of the program compulsorily.
■ Forced Break
It is a function to abort the execution of the program compulsorily.
When a break occurs due to a forced break, the following message is displayed on the Status Bar.
Break at Address by command abort request
Note:
A forced break is not allowed while the MCU is in the low-power consumption mode or hold state.
When a forced break is requested by the [Debug] - [Abort] menu while executing a program, the menu
is disregarded if the MCU is in the low-power consumption mode or hold state. If a break must occur,
then reset the cause at user system side, or reset the cause by using the [Debug] - [Reset MCU]
menu, after inputting the [Debug] - [Abort] menu.
When the MCU enters the power-save consumption mode or hold state while executing, the status is
displayed on the Status Bar.

CHAPTER 2 DEPENDENCE FUNCTIONS
2.4.5
Real-time Trace
While execution a program, the address, data and status information, and the data
sampled by an external probe can be sampled in machine cycle units and stored in the
trace buffer. This function is called real-time trace.
In-depth analysis of a program execution history can be performed using the data
recorded by real-time trace.
■ Trace Buffer
The data recorded by sampling in machine cycle units, is called a frame.
The trace buffer can store 64K frames (65536). Since the trace buffer has a ring structure, when it becomes
full, it automatically returns to the start to overwrite existing data.
■ Trace Data
Data sampled by the trace function is called trace data.
The following data is sampled:
•
•
•
Address
Data
Status Information
- Access status: Read/Write/Internal access, etc.
- Device status: Instruction execution, Reset, Hold, etc.
- Queue status: Count of remaining bytes of instruction queue, etc.
- Data valid cycle information: Data valid/invalid
(Since the data signal is shared with other signals, it does not always output data. Therefore, the trace
samples information indicating whether or not the data is valid.)
■ Data Not Traced
The following data does not leave access data in the trace buffer.
- Portion of access data while in native mode.
2
When operating in the native mode, the F MC-16L/16LX family of chips sometime performs
simultaneous multiple bus operations internally. However, in this emulator, monitoring of the internal
ROM bus takes precedence. Therefore, other bus data being accessed simultaneously may not be sampled
(in the debugging mode, all operations are sampled).
■ Frame Number
A number is assigned to each frame of sampled trace data. This number is called a frame number.
The frame number is used to specify the display start position of the trace buffer. The value 0 is assigned to
trace data at the triggering position for sequencer termination. Negative values are assigned to trace data that
have been sampled before arrival at the triggering position (See Figure 2.4-1).
If there is no triggering position for sequencer termination, the value 0 is assigned to the last-sampled trace
data.

■ Trace Filter
To make effective use of the limited trace buffer capacity, in addition to the code fetch function, a trace filter
function is incorporated to provide a means of acquiring information about data accesses to a specific region.
The data trace filter function allows the following values to be specified for two regions:
- Address
- Address mask
- Access attribute (read/write)
Another function can be used so that sampling of redundant frames occupying two or more trace frames, such
as SLEEP and READY, can be reduced to sampling of one frame.

Setting Trace
To perform a trace, follow steps (1), (2) below. When a program is executed after
completion of the following steps, trace data is sampled.
(1) Enable the trace function.
(2) Perform trace-buffer-full break setup.
■ Setting Trace
To perform a trace, complete the following setup steps. When a program is executed after completion of the
steps, trace data is sampled.
1) Enable the trace function.
Enable the trace function using the ENABLE TRACE command.
To disable the trace function, use the DISABLE TRACE command.
The trace function is enabled by default when the program is launched.
2) Perform trace-buffer-full break setup.

Display Format of Trace Data
The trace data display format can be selected by running the SHOW TRACE command
with a command modifier specified. If setup is completed with the SET SOURCE
command so as to select a source line addition mode, a source line is attached to the
displayed trace data.
There are three formats to display trace data:
• Display in instruction execution order
• Display all machine cycles
(Specify /INSTRUCTION.)
(Specify /CYCLE.)
• Display in source line units
(Specify /SOURCE.)
■ Display in Instruction Execution Order (Specify /INSTRUCTION.)
Trace sampling is performed at each machine cycle, but the sampling results are difficult to display because
they are influenced by pre-fetch, etc. This is why the emulator has a function to allow it to analyze trace data
as much as possible. The resultant data is displayed after processes such as eliminating pre-fetch effects,
analyzing execution instructions, and sorting in instruction execution order are performed automatically.
However, this function can be specified only in the single trace while in the debugging mode.
In this mode, data can be displayed in the following format.

Reading Trace Data On-the-fly
Trace data can be read while executing a program. However, this is not possible during
sampling. Disable the trace function or terminate tracing before attempting to read trace
data.
■ Reading Trace Data On-the-fly
To disable the trace function, use the DISABLE TRACE command. Check whether or not the trace function
is currently enabled by executing the SHOW TRACE command with /STATUS specified, or by using the
built-in variable, %TRCSTAT.
Tracing terminates when the sequencer has terminated. If Not Break is specified here, tracing terminates
without a break operation. It is possible to check whether or not tracing has terminated by executing the
SHOW TRACE command with /STATUS specified, or by using the built-in variable, %TRCSAMP.
To read trace data, use the SHOW TRACE command; to search trace data, use the SEARCH TRACE
command.

The MB2198 emulator automatically loads and executes the Boot ROM file during startup
of the debug.
■ Boot ROM File Automatic Execution
When the MB2198 emulator is specified, at the starting of debugging the Boot ROM file is automatically
loaded and then executed. The Boot ROM file is in Lib\907\BootROM under the directory where Workbench
is installed.
The directory containing the Boot ROM file can be displayed using the [Project] - [Setup Project] menu, and
can be modified in the setup project dialog. In addition, it is also possible to automatically execute the Boot
ROM file during the debugger startup or reset of MCU. For details, see the "SOFTUNE Workbench
Operation Manual".
Notes:
• As the Boot ROM file contains information necessary for launching the emulator debugger, it must
be executed during startup of the debugger or upon reset. If the execution is not performed, the
debugger may not operate properly.
• The PC value when MCU reset has been performed in the emulator debugger varies depending on
whether it is MB2198 or not as follows:
MB2198: Starting address of the Boot ROM file
Other than MB2198: Entry point in the target file (reset vector)

MCU Operation Mode
There are two MCU operation modes as follows:
• Full Trace Mode
• Real-Time Mode
■ Setting MCU Operation Mode
There are two operation modes: the full trace mode, and the real-time mode. These modes are set using the
[Setup] - [Debug environment] - [Debug environment] menu or the SET RUNMODE command of the
instruction window.
● Full Trace Mode
In full trace mode, execution of all the instructions can be traced with no trace data missed. However, when
branching has been performed for three times or more within 11 cycles, getting the trace data will be given a
higher priority, as waits are inserted for MCU, it may not run in real time.
● Real time Mode
In real time mode, execution can be performed in the real time of a program. However, when branching has
been performed for three times or more within 11 cycles, some of the trace data may be missed.
In addition, an error may occur during measurement of the cycle count.

Operation Frequency Control
This section describes the operation frequency setup.
■ Operation frequency
Set the operation frequency of MCU. Set the operation frequency using a value between 1 and 266MHz,
inclusive. This setting optimizes the communication speed between MCU and emulator.
This function can be set using the [Setup] - [Debugging Environment] - [Debugging Environment] -
[Frequency] menu or the SET FREQUENCY command.
Notes:
• This setting sets the maximum frequency and will not change the actual operation frequency.
• When a value smaller than the operation frequency is actually used, the emulator may malfunction.

Notes on Commands for Executing Program
When using commands to execute a program, there are several points to note.
■ Notes on GO Command
For the GO command, two breakpoints that are valid only while executing commands can be set. However,
care is required in setting these breakpoints.
● Invalid Breakpoints
•
No break occurs when a breakpoint is set at the instruction immediately after the following instructions.
PCB
DTB
NCC
ADB
2
SPB
CNR
F MC-16FX
MOV ILM,#imm8
OR CCR,#imm8
AND CCR,#imm8
POPW PS
•
No break occurs when breakpoint set at address other than starting address of instruction.
■ Notes on STEP Command
● Exceptional Step Execution
When executing the instructions listed in the notes on the GO command as invalid breakpoints, such
instructions and the next instruction are executed as a single instruction. Furthermore, if such instructions are
continuous, then all these continuous instructions and the next instruction are executed as a single instruction.
● Step Execution that won't Break
Note that no break occurs after step operation when both the following conditions are met at one time.
•
•
When step instruction longer than 2 bytes length and last code ends at even address
When breakpoint already set at last address
(This "already-set" breakpoint is an invalid breakpoint that won't break, because it has been set at an
address other than the starting address of an instruction.)
■ Controlling Watchdog Timer
It is possible to select "The watchdog timer is stopped in the break. " while executing a program using the
GO, STEP, CALL commands.
Use the ENABLE WATCHDOG, DISABLE WATCHDOG commands to control the watchdog timer.
•
•
ENABLE WATCHDOG
DISABLE WATCHDOG
---
---
Enables the watchdog time during break.
The watchdog timer is stopped in the break.
The start-up default in this program is "Enables the watchdog time during break".

CHAPTER 2 DEPENDENCE FUNCTIONS
Notes:
• Hardware
There are the following considerations for the hardware break.
- Due to combination use with the sequencer or the trace trigger, the maximum setting number
varies.
- Do not set the hardware break to the instruction located in the delay slot. If such a setting is
performed, branching will not be performed in spite of re-execution after break.
- Make sure that the breakpoint must include the starting address of an instruction. Break may not
occur.
- When execution is performed starting from the address where the hardware break was set, if the
preceding execution has been stopped due to reasons other than instruction break, break will
occur without execution of the instruction. In such a case, when re-execution is performed, the
instruction will be executed.
• Software
There are the following considerations for the software break.
- Setting cannot be performed in areas, such as ROM, where write cannot be correctly performed.
In such cases, a verify error will occur when a program starts to be executed (when continuous
execution or step execution is started).
- Be sure to set the breakpoint in the starting address of an instruction. If the breakpoint is set in
the middle of an instruction, the program may run away.

Control by Sequencer
This emulator has a sequencer to control events. By using this sequencer, sampling of
breaks or traces can be controlled while monitoring program flow (sequence). A break
caused by this function is called a sequential break.
■ Control by Sequencer
As shown in Table 2.5-2, controls can be made at 8 different levels.
One event can be set for one level.
The sequencer can perform shift from any level to any level, and the restart conditions can also be specified.

■ Setting Events
The emulator can monitor the MCU bus operation, and generate a trigger for a sequencer at a specified
condition. This function is called an event.
In the event, code (/CODE) and data access (/READ/WRITE) can be specified.
Up to eight events can be set. However, since hardware is shared with trace triggers, the actual numbers is
calculated as follows.
Current maximum constant of events =
8 - (current number of break settings + current number of trace trigger settings)

Notes:
• In instruction execution (/CODE), an event trigger is generated only when an instruction is executed.
This cannot be specified concurrently with other status (/READ or /WRITE).
• In the case of data event, word access from an odd address (in terms of bus access) is performed
using a byte access for twice . Note that this is the reason why even when word access from an
odd address is specified there is nothing found.

Real-time Trace
While execution a program, the address, data and status information, and the data
sampled by an external probe can be sampled in machine cycle units and stored in the
trace buffer. This function is called real-time trace.
In-depth analysis of a program execution history can be performed using the data
recorded by real-time trace.
■ Trace Buffer
The data recorded by sampling in machine cycle units, is called a frame.
The trace buffer can store 64K frames (65536). When the enhancing trace board is used, it becomes capacity
for 256M (268,435,456) frame.
Since the trace buffer has a ring structure, when it becomes full, it automatically returns to the start to
overwrite existing data.
■ Trace Data
Data sampled by the trace function is called trace data.
The following data is sampled:
•
•
•
•
Branching instruction frame
Branching source address, branching target address, disassemble
Data frame
Access address, Access data, Access size, Access attribute (read/write), and Bus master (CPU/DMA)
Special frame
Program stop, Trace start/end, Reset, Loop count, Extended time stamp frame, Data lost
Difference of execution time with frame immediately before (unit of CPU clock)
■ Frame Number
A number is assigned to each frame of sampled trace data. This number is called a frame number.
The frame number is used to specify the display start position of the trace buffer. The value 0 is assigned to
trace data at the triggering position for sequencer termination. Negative values are assigned to trace data that
If there is no triggering position for sequencer termination, the value 0 is assigned to the last-sampled trace
data.

■ Trace Filter
To make effective use of the limited trace buffer capacity, in addition to the code fetch function, a trace filter
function is incorporated to provide a means of acquiring information about data accesses to a specific region.
The following value can be specified in the data trace filter function.
•
•
Access attribute (read/write)
Data trace start address/end address
Moreover, the function to compress into one frame when the same frame is repeated is provided, too.
■ Trace Trigger Setup
When preselected conditions are met during MCU bus operation monitoring, a trigger for starting a trace can
be generated. This function is called a trace trigger.
For the use of the trace trigger function, specify the code (/CODE) and data access (/READ/WRITE).
Up to 4 trace triggers can be preset each for code attribute and data access attribute. However, actually, the
maximum number of trace triggers is determined as indicated below because the common hardware is used
with events.
Current trace trigger maximum constant = 4 - (current break count setting + current event count setting)
For the trace trigger setup conditions that can be defined, see Table 2.5-2.
For trace trigger setup, use the following commands:
•
•

CANCEL TRACETRIGGER :
SHOW TRACETRIGGER :
SHOW TRACE/STATUS :

Setting Trace
To perform a trace, follow steps (1) to (3) below. When a program is executed after
completion of the following steps, trace data is sampled.
(1) Enable the trace function.
(2) The event and the sequencer are set.
(3) Perform trace buffer full break setup.
■ Setting Trace
To perform a trace, complete the following setup steps. When a program is executed after completion of the
steps, trace data is sampled.
1) Enable the trace function.
Enable the trace function using the ENABLE TRACE command.
To disable the trace function, use the DISABLE TRACE command.
The trace function is enabled by default when the program is launched.
2) Set up the event and the sequencer.
Use of the trace trigger allows control of the trace sampling, making full use of the limited-size trace
buffer. Such setups should be performed on a necessary base.
The trace trigger can specify the start/stop of trace sampling with the trigger hit as the reason.
When the trace trigger is used, setup is performed by inputting the SET TRACE/TRIGGER command.
3) Perform trace buffer full break setup.
A break can be invoked when the trace buffer becomes full.
To perform setup, use the SET TRACE command. This break feature is disabled when the program starts.
To view the setting, use SHOW TRACE/STATUS.

user interrupt.
- No break occurs when breakpoint set at address other than starting address of instruction.
- No break occurs when a breakpoint is set at three instructions or less immediately after the following
instructions.

■ Notes on STEP Command
● Exceptional Step Execution
When executing the instructions listed in the notes on the GO command as invalid breakpoints, such an
instruction and next three instructions are executed as a single instruction.
Furthermore, when above-mentioned instructions are included in the next continuous instructions, all of them
and the next continuous three instructions or less are executed as a single instruction.
[Example] When instructions as invalid breakpoints is consecutive

CHAPTER 2 DEPENDENCE FUNCTIONS
Because "POP PS" (1) is an instruction as invalid breakpoint shown in "Notes on GO Command", no break
occurs at three instructions following "POP PS".
And because instruction (3) is the instruction shown in above-mentioned note among three instructions (2),
(3) and (4) following "POP PS", three instructions (4), (5) and (6) following instruction (3) are executed
continuously.
Consequently, the program counter (PC) advances to NOP instruction (7) when the step operation is executed
from the point of "POP PS" instruction (1).
Note:
• Issuing a chip reset during the execution of the user program, the following functions cleared.
- Execution cycle measurement
- Performance measurement

To Access the Flash Memory
This section describes the access method to the flash memory in the MB2100-01
emulator debugger.
■ Access to Flash Memory
In this emulator debugger, the direct operation of the content of the flash memory can be done as well as
RAM area.
■ What is flash memory synchronization?
When data is written into the flash memory, the data is stored temporarily. Subsequently, the contents of the
flash memory need to be matched with each other with specific timing.
The matching operation is referred to as "flash memory synchronization" (or, "synchronization of flash
memory").
There are two types of flash memory synchronization:
•
Flash memory synchronization [Flash -> Debugger]
Updates the contents of the flash memory.
•
Flash memory synchronization [Debbuger -> Flash]
Updates the stored data on the flash memory.
■ Methods of flash memory synchronization
Flash memory synchronization can be performed in either a manual or automatic method.
● Flash memory synchronization [Flash -> Debugger]
•
•
Manual flash memory synchronization
Select the [Environment] - [Flash area control] menu. For details, refer to "4.7.4 Flash area control" in
"SOFTUNE Workbench Operation Manual".
Automatic flash memory synchronization
Flash memory synchronization is automatically performed if the target flash memory area is updated
when carrying out one of the following operations.
- Load the following files.
Target file (Load module file)
Binary file
- Save the following files (specify name).

Cycle count : Accumulates the number of cycles required to carry out the event-to-event execution.
Measuring count : Accumulates the number of times the system passes from event to event.
Average : Average obtained by dividing the cycle count by the measuring count
■ Remeasuring
Remeasuring performance refers to a function that clears the measuring count during execution of a user
program and remeasures from the beginning.
To carry out remeasuring, select [Restart] in the shortcut menu of the performance window.
If necessary, you can respecify the performance measuring interval (event) during execution.
This restarts measuring at the times when events have been set.

• If two triggers (start and end) specified as a measuring interval have occurred at the same time,
performance measuring is not performed.
• An error of approximately 10 cycles is always detected each time a user program is re-executed
because its execution has been stopped due to a breakpoint during performance measurement.
The error may exceed 10 cycles depending on the bus state.
• If the performance measurement interval (event) is re-specified during execution of a user program,
the previous measurement results are cleared.

Viewing Program Execution History [Trace]
This section describes the trace function of this emulator debugger.
■ What is Trace
The function that records the program execution history is called "trace".
Trace data contains address information before and after branch, which is available for the analysis of the
program execution history.
■ Trace Functions
This emulator debugger has the following trace functions.
•
Forced start:
Forcibly starts acquiring trace data without stopping the execution of a user program
while forced stop is executed and trace data acquisition is stopped.
•
Forced stop:
Forcibly ends acquiring trace data without stopping the execution of a user program
during acquisition of trace data.
■ Acquiring Trace Data
The trace data acquisition is started and ended at the following times.
● The acquisition is started when:
- a user program has been executed; or
- the [Start] menu has been selected when a user program has been executed.
● The acquisition is ended when:
- a user program has been stopped; or
- the [Abort] menu has been selected during trace data acquisition.
■ Trace Buffer
A place to store recorded data is called a "trace buffer".
Each unit of data stored in the trace buffer is called a "frame".
The trace buffer can contain up to 1,024 frames.
The trace buffer has a ring-like structure. If the trace buffer becomes full, it is automatically overwritten from
the beginning.
Figure 2.6-5 shows how data is stored in the trace buffer.
