Emulators
Two Types of Emulators Two types of emulators, an affordable on-chip debugging emulator with basic functions and a full-spec emulator system with rich, high-performance debugging functions, are available. You can select and combine the emulator that best meet your development needs. All emulator products include the High-performance Embedded Workshop integrated development environment and an emulator-debugger that runs under it.
|
[ E1 and E20 On-Chip Debugging Emulators ] - Easy connection. Allows debugging of an RX MCU while mounted on the system board.
- Powered by USB bus. No dedicated power supply needed.
- Also functions as a flash programmer.
- Environmentally friendly. All materials in components and package are RoHS compliant.
| E1 Emulator Learn more Basic debugging functions at an affordable price. Also provides on-chip trace function.
|
| E20 Emulator Learn more More fully featured than the E1. Enables more advanced debugging with more powerful trace functions, real-time RAM monitoring, and more. (For RX600 Series)
|
| E20 Debug MCU Board for Debugging that Leaves User Pins Free With an on-chip debugger, some user pins must be used for connections to the debugger. A debug MCU board, in contrast, leaves all the user pins free while enabling the full functionality of the E20. There are also high-capacity trace and real-time RAM monitoring functions that work even with MCUs that have no trace signals.  | [ E100 Full-Spec Emulator ] Learn more about this product More advanced functions such as high-capacity trace, real-time profiles, and C0/C1 coverage, combined with an easy-to-use GUI. If already in use with earlier MCUs, simply change the MCU unit for compatibility with RX MCUs. |  | |
