An area that can be only read by MMU
3. During step operation, a BREAKPOINT is disabled.
4. Conditions set at Break Condition 2 are disabled when an instruction to which a
BREAKPOINT has been set is executed. Do not set a BREAKPOINT to an instruction in
which Break Condition 2 is satisfied.
5. When execution resumes from the address where a BREAKPOINT is specified, single-step
operation is performed at the address before execution resumes. Therefore, realtime operation
cannot be performed.
6. When a BREAKPOINT is set to the slot instruction of a delayed branch instruction, the PC
value becomes an illegal value. Accordingly, do not set a BREAKPOINT to the slot
instruction of a delayed branch instruction.
7. When a BREAKPOINT is set to the cacheable area, the cache block containing the
BREAKPOINT address is filled immediately before and after user program execution.
8. Note on DSP repeat loop:
A BREAKPOINT is equal to a branch instruction. In some DSP repeat loops, branch
instructions cannot be set. For these cases, do not set BREAKPOINTs. Refer to the hardware
manual for details.
9. When the [Normal] option is selected in the [Memory area] group box in the [General] page of
the [Configuration] dialog box, a BREAKPOINT is set to a physical address or a virtual
address according to the SH7710 MMU status during command input when the VPMAP_SET
command setting is disabled. The ASID value of the SH7710 PTEH register during command
input is used. When VPMAP_SET command setting is enabled, a BREAKPOINT is set to a
physical address into which address translation is made according to the VP_MAP table.
However, for addresses out of the range of the VP_MAP table, the address to which a
BREAKPOINT is set depends on the SH7710 MMU status during command input. Even
when the VP_MAP table is modified after BREAKPOINT setting, the address translated when
the BREAKPOINT is set valid.
10. When the [Physical] option is selected in the [Memory area] group box in the [General] page
of the [Configuration] dialog box, a BREAKPOINT is set to a physical address. A
BREAKPOINT is set after disabling the SH7710 MMU upon program execution. After
setting, the MMU is returned to the original state. When a break occurs at the corresponding
virtual address, the cause of termination displayed in the status bar and the [Output] window is
ILLEGAL INSTRUCTION, not BREAKPOINT.
11. When the [Virtual] option is selected in the [Memory area] group box in the [General] page of
the [Configuration] dialog box, a BREAKPOINT is set to a virtual address. A BREAKPOINT
is set after enabling the SH7710 MMU upon program execution. After setting, the MMU is
returned to the original state. When an ASID value is specified, the BREAKPOINT is set to
the virtual address corresponding to the ASID value. The emulator sets the BREAKPOINT
after rewriting the ASID value to the specified value, and returns the ASID value to its original
