Interface with PC USB2.0, USB1.1
Simulation functions Simulation of simple external components such as buttons and LEDs, displaying of I/O signal waveforms, customizing of external components, etc.


Notes

  1. Condition for stopping user program execution.
  2. Forcible breaks cannot be performed when interrupts are disabled (DI) or communication I/F (INTP) interrupts are masked.
  3. A pseudo RRM function that is used to monitor programs by momentarily stopping them can be used. The specifiable range is up to 8 places in 1-byte units and 16 bytes in total.
  4. The INTP pin differs, depending on the target device (INTP3 or INTP1).
  5. After a program has been downloaded, the X1 and X2 pins, and their shared functions can be debugged.
