4. Persediaan
Follow these steps to set up your E2 Emulator for use:
- Pasang Perisian: Install the necessary Renesas Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and E2 Emulator drivers on your personal computer. Refer to the software documentation for specific installation instructions.
- Sambung ke PC: Connect the E2 Emulator to your personal computer using the provided USB cable. The PC should recognize the device and install any remaining drivers automatically.
- Connect to Target Board: Connect the E2 Emulator to your target microcontroller board using the appropriate connection cable. Ensure the orientation is correct and the connection is secure. Refer to your target board's documentation for the correct debug header pinout.
- Power On Target: Apply power to your target microcontroller board. The E2 Emulator typically draws power from the USB connection, but the target board requires its own power supply.
- Sahkan Sambungan: Launch your Renesas IDE (e.g., e2 studio) and configure the debugger settings to detect and connect to the E2 Emulator and your target microcontroller.
5. Arahan Operasi
The E2 Emulator supports various operations for developing and testing embedded applications.
5.1. Debugging Microcontrollers
To debug your application code:
- Load Program: In your IDE, load the compiled program (e.g., .elf file) onto the target microcontroller via the E2 Emulator.
- Set Breakpoints: Place breakpoints in your source code where you want execution to pause.
- Start Debugging: Initiate the debugging session from the IDE. The program will execute on the target until a breakpoint is hit.
- Step Through Code: Use the IDE's debugging controls (step over, step into, step out) to navigate through your code line by line.
- Monitor Variables: Observe the values of variables, registers, and memory contents in real-time.
- Analisis Masa Nyata: Utilize advanced debugging features for performance analysis and event tracing, if supported by your IDE and microcontroller.
5.2. Programming Microcontrollers
To program or re-program your microcontroller:
- Prepare Firmware: Ensure you have the final firmware image (e.g., .hex, .mot, .srec file) ready for programming.
- Pilih Peranti: In your IDE or dedicated programming tool, select the correct target microcontroller device.
- Configure Programmer: Configure the E2 Emulator as the programming tool.
- Erase/Program: Use the programming interface to erase the existing flash memory and then program the new firmware image onto the microcontroller.
- Sahkan: After programming, perform a verification step to ensure the firmware was written correctly.
5.3. Supported Microcontroller Families
The E2 Emulator is compatible with the following Renesas microcontroller families:
- Siri RH850
- Siri RL78
