Th
examples shown in the previous section.
During on-chip debugging, a reset signal from the target system is input to E1/E20, masked, and then output to the
target device. Therefore, the reset signal connection varies depending on whether E1/E20 is connected.
For flash programming, the circuit must be designed so that the reset signals of the user system and E1/E20 do not
conflict.
Select one of the following methods and connect the reset signal in the circuit. The details of each method are
described on the following pages.
(1) Automatically switching the reset signal via resistor (recommended; described in recommended circuit connection
in the previous section)
(2) Manually switching the reset signal with jumper
(3) Resetting the target device by power-on clear (POC) only

E1/E20 Emulator CHAPTER 3 SETTING OF SECURITY ID AND SETTING OF DEBUGGING RESOURCES
CHAPTER 3 SETTING OF SECURITY ID AND SETTING OF DEBUGGING RESOURCES
The user must prepare the following to perform communication between E1/E20 emulator and the tar get device and
implement each debug function. Refer to the descriptions on the following sections and set these items in the user
program or using the build tool property.
When C-SPY manufactured by IAR Systems is used, read also the following material.
- IAR C-SPY Hardware Debugger Systems User Guide issued by IAR Systems
3.1 Setting of Security ID
This setting is required to prevent the memory from being read by an unauthorized person. Embed a security ID at
addresses 0xC4 to 0xCD in the internal flash memory. The debugger starts only when the security ID that is set during
debugger startup and the security ID set at addresses 0xC4 to 0xCD match. If the ID codes do not match, the debugger
manipulates the target device in accordance with the value set to the on-chip debug option byte area (refer to Table 3-2).
If the user has forgotten the security ID to enable debugging, erase the flash memory and set the security ID again.
[How to set security ID]
A setting method of the security ID is following. When both (a) and (b) methods are done at a time, method (b) has a
priority.
(a) Embed the security ID at addresses 0xC4 to 0xCD in the user program.
(b) Setting of the security ID by build tool common options. (In case of CubeSuite+)
(a) Embed a security ID at addresses 0xC4 to 0xCD in the user program.
For example If the security ID is embedded as follows, the security ID set by the debugger
is ″0123456789ABCDEF1234″ (not case-sensitive).

[How to authenticate the security ID at debugger startup]
When connecting a debugger to the device set the security ID, it is necessary to specify the security ID by connection
settings in debug tool property. (Default security ID is set in build tool property.)
Set in “Flash” in the connect settings tab as figure 3-2.
3.2 Setting of On-chip debugging option byte
This is the area for the security setting to prevent the flash memory from being read by an unauthorized person. The
debugger manipulates the target device in accordance with the set value, as shown below.

3.3 Securing of area for debugging
The yellow portions in Figure 3-4 are the areas reserved for placing the debug monitor program, so user programs or
data cannot be allocated in these spaces. These spaces must be secured so as not to be used by the user program.
Moreover, this area must not be rewritten by the user program.
Secure the resources for debugging with the contents explained by (a) and (b).

Apr 20, 2012
E1/E20 Emulator CHAPTER 3 SETTING OF SECURITY ID AND SETTING OF DEBUGGING RESOURCES
(a) Securing of debug monitor area
This is the area to which the debug monitor program is to be allocated. The monitor program performs initialization
processing for debug communication interface and RUN or break processing for the CPU.
This user programs or data must not be placed in an area of 22 bytes near the on-chip debug option b yte, and an
area of 1024 bytes
allocated to a monitor program.
Note It is an area of 88 bytes when the pseudo RRM/DMM function is not used during debugging in 2 -wire mode.
If the internal ROM end address is 0x3FFFF, a monitor program of 88 bytes is allocated to the area from
0x3FFA8 to 0x3FFFF.
[How to secure areas]
It is not necessarily required to secure this area if the user program does not use this area.
However To avoid problems that may occur during the debugger startup, it is recommended to secure this area in
advance, using the compiler. Figure 3-5 shows example for securing the area, using the CubeSuite+. Set in “device” in
link options tab as figure 3-5.
(b) Securing of stack area for debugging
This area requires 6 bytes as the stack area for debugging
stack area, the address of this area varies depending on the stack increase and decrease. That is, 6 extra bytes are
consumed for the stack area used.
Figure 3-6 illustrates the case where the stack area is increased when the internal high-speed RAM start s from
0xFCF00.
Note When the self programming is executed, it will be 12 bytes.
Note
before the internal ROM end address. In addition, reset vector is rewritten to address
Note
. Since this area is allocated immediately before the
Figure 3-3 Variation of Address of Stack Area for Debugging
[How to secure areas]
Set the stack pointer by estimating the stack area consumed by the user program + 6 bytes. Make sure that the stack
pointer does not extend beyond the internal high-speed RAM start address.
Remark Refer to the self programming manual for how to secure the stack area for self programming.

E1/E20 Emulator CHAPTER 5 NOTES ON USAGE
5.2 Details
No.1 Handling of device that was used for debugging
Do not mount a device that was used for debugging on a mass-produce d product. (Because the flash memory
was rewritten during debugging and the number of rewrites of the flash memory cannot be guara nteed.) Do not
embed the monitor program for debugging in a mass-produced product.
No.2 Flash self programming
If a space where the debug monitor program is allocated is rewritten by flash self programming, the debugger
can no longer operate normally. This caution also applies to boot swapping for such an area.
No.3 Operation after a res et
After an external pin reset or internal reset, the monitor program performs debug initialization processing.
Consequently, the time from reset occurrence until user program execution differs from that in the actual device
operation. If “No” is selected in Permit flash programming in property of the debug tool, the time until the user
program is executed compared with the time when “Yes” is selected is delayed several 100 ms.
No.4 Checking operation of a device after debugging
After downloading a load module file to the device to for on-chip debugging, do not check the operation of this
device without E1/E20.
A device after debugging contains the specific program for on-chip debugging, so it is different from actual
operation.
No.5 Current consumption when On-chip debugging
On-chip debugging circuit in the device operates during on-chip debugging.
Therefore current consumption of the device increases.
When evaluations current consumption of device, please do not connect a debugger.
No.6 On-chip d eb ugging option byte setting (address C3H)
The on-chip debugging option byte setting is rewritten arbitrarily by the debugger.
No.7 Operation at voltage with which flash memory cannot be written
If the following debugger operations are executed at voltage with which flash memory cannot be written, the
debugger outputs an error and the operation is ignored. Because these operations are included flash memory
rewriting.
<1> Writing to internal flash memory
<2> Setting or canceling of software breakpoint
<3> Starting execution at the set software breakpoint position
<4> Step execution at the set software breakpoint position
<5> Step-over execution, Return Out execution
<6> Come Here
<7> Setting, changing, or canceling of hardware breaks
<8> Masking/unmasking of internal reset
<9> Switching of peripheral breaks

E1/E20 Emulator CHAPTER 5 NOTES ON USAGE
No.8 Pseudo real-time RAM monitor function
Note the following points when using the pseudo real-time RAM monitor function.
<1> Standby mode (HALT or STOP) may be cancelled during monitoring.
<2> The pseudo real-time RAM monitor function does not operate while the CPU operating clock is sto pped.
<3> When the number of monitoring point are numerous, the response of the debugger becomes slow.
Influence to the debugger response becomes small by using a watch panel instead of a memory panel.
No.9 Relation between Standby function and Break function
The break is interrupt function of CPU. The standby mode is released by the break for using the following debug
function.
<1> Stops execution of the user program.
<2> Step execution of the standby instruction (Stops user program after execution instruction)
<3> Pseudo real-time RAM monitor function (Break When Readout)
<4> Pseudo Dynamic Memory Modification (Break When Write)
<5> Breakpoint setting executing of the user program.
No.10 Cautions on using step-in (step execution)
The value of some SFRs (special function registers) might remain unchanged while stepping into code. If the
value of the SFRs does not change while stepping into code, operate the microcontroller by continuously
executing the instructions instead of executing them in steps.
Stepping into code: Instructions in the user-created program are executed one by one.
Continuous execution: The user-created program is executed from the current PC value.
No.11 Step-in (step e x ecution) of Division operation
( target :device with multiplier and divider/multiply-accmulator)
When the instruction which sets (1) the bit 0 (DIVST) of Multiplication/Division control r egister (MDUC) is stepped,
the division operation is not finished.
The step execution of the division operation of C source file is not relevant.
No.12 Emulation of flash memory CRC accumulator function
<1> High-speed CRC (code flash : all area)
The operation result of CRC is different from actual result. Because monitor program is arranged and reset
vector is rewritten by on-chip debugging.
Please check the operation of high-speed CRC by using IECUBE or using device without E1/E20.
<2> General-purpose CRC(code flash : specification area)
The operation result of CRC at following areas is different from actual result. Because monitor program is
arranged and reset vector is rewritten by on-chip debugging.
- reset vector area
- debugging monitor area
- on-chip debugging option byte area
- software break setting area
