1.3 Functional Overview

IECUBE2 is provided with a wealth of debug functions to enable efficient program debugging, in addition to being

used to emulate the operation of a target device. An overview of the functions is provided in this section.

Some functions are not supported, depending on the debugger to be used. See also the manual of the

debugger to be used to confirm.

1.3.1 Program execution function (real-time execution function)

The program execution function enables program execution equivalent to that of the target device. The

executed program can be stopped under various conditions by using the break functions. The operation of only a

function can be checked by executing a program, because a program can be executed from any address.

1.3.2 Step execution function (non-real-time execution function)

The step execution function can be used to execute instructions one by one, in assemble instruction units. Only

instructions to be executed purely in steps can be executed, because interrupts are not acknowledged during step

execution.

Caution Step execution to be performed at the C language level is performed by a debugger using the

break function. In this case, interrupts are acknowledged in step execution. Consequently, if

processing at the interrupt destination cannot be completed, step execution may not be

completed. For handling such a case, see the manual of the debugger.

1.3.3 Break functions (program execution stop)

The break functions are used to stop program execution. With IECUBE2, program execution can be stopped

under the following various conditions. See (1) to (5) for an overview of each break function.

• An address has been executed Hardware break function, software break function

• A variable has been accessed Hardware break function

• A specific time has elapsed Timer overflow break function

Variable values can be checked during a break and a program can be executed again by changing register

values, because the CPU operates even during a break (while the program is stopped). Interrupts generated

during the break are suspended, because basically peripheral functions also operate during the break. Use the

peripheral break function to stop peripheral functions during the break.

User’s Manual（Preliminary） IECUBE2 main (QB-V850E2) ZUD-CD-10-0092 10/19

(1) Hardware break function

The hardware break function is used to observe the CPU bus cycles and set a break for a specific fetch or

access operation. For example, a break can be set by detecting a state where an address has been

executed or a variable has been accessed. For states that can be set, see “Event function”.

Caution The address for which a break has been set is at a position ahead of the address where an

actual access has occurred, because the break set for the access (write, read) is detected at an

MEM stage or a WB stage on the CPU pipeline.

(2) Software break function

The software break function is used to set a break when a specific address has been executed (fetched).

(3) Timer overflow break function

This function is used to set a break when a time set by using the time measurement function has elapsed.

For example, if the execution time of a function must be 2 ms, a break can be set when at least 2 ms have

elapsed between starting and ending the function. This function and the trace function can be used

together to find the source that has taken time.

(4) Forced break function

This function is used to forcibly stop a program when it is desired to be stopped.

(5) Trace full break function

This function is used to stop a program when the trace memory is full.
