H8 Microcontroller Development Tools
E6000 In–circuit Emulator
The E6000 is an advanced real-time in-circuit
emulator that supports a number of Hitachi
processors. It may be used totally self contained
for software development and debugging, or
connected via a custom cable to a target system
for debugging user hardware.
•Zero wait-state real-time emulation
•Emulation memory from 1M to 4M bytes, which
can be mapped in 64 byte blocks into the target
processor's address space
•256 PC Breakpoints
•Up to 12 hardware breakpoints using the event
and range channels in the Complex Event
System (CES)
•Up to 32K cycles Trace Buffer, which can be
stopped and read during program execution
•Trace buffer acquisition filtering using the CES
•Execution time measurement of total time or
relative time, with a resolution between 20ns
and 16us
•4 user logic probes that can be used as CES
trigger events
•Automatic tracking of the target system supply
voltage to ensure that the emulator draws no
power
•Multiple target clock selection
•HDI debugger software supplied as standard
•Compatible with Windows 95/98/NT/2000
E10T In-Circuit Debugger
The E10T is the latest low-cost emulation devel-
opment from Hitachi. The E10T is designed to be
used in conjunction with Hitachi's on-chip
debugging interface, currently implemented on
members of the new H8/300H Tiny series of mi-
crocontrollers. The E10T provides real-time
debugging on the target device using dedicated
debugging resources on the target microcon-
troller in the user’s hardware. The E10T interfaces
to the user’s target system via a 4/5 pin interface
that can be used both to debug the system and
to program the microcontroller's on-chip Flash
memory.
•PCI or PCMCI interface
•256 PC breakpoints
•Hardware breakpoint on address and data
•4-level branch trace
•Single stepping at assembly level
•Ability to download application and program
the on-chip flash
Low-cost Evaluation Board (EDKs)
Evaluation Kits are a low-cost way for prospective
developers to experience the performance of
Hitachi microcontrollers.
Evaluation boards can also be invaluable for large
development teams where the cost of purchasing
a full in-circuit emulator for every engineer would
be too high. Those engineers who do not require
the real-time emulation and tracing features of an
emulator can comfortably debug their code using
evaluation kits.
•Low-cost development board
•Easy way to evaluate chip performance
•Serial UART
•ET10 I/F
•Expansion I/F
•Comes with power supply and serial cable
Hitachi Software Development Tools:
Hitachi embedded Workshop (HEW):
Part No: USS008PXIW1SR
Hitachi Embedded Workshop (HEW) is a flexible
code development environment for applications
that use Hitachi microcontrollers. It provides an
up-to-date "look and feel" with all of the features
you would expect from a modern code develop-
ment environment.
•Project wizard for easy setup
•Project and file management
•Hierarchical project support
•File dependency scanning–non source file can
be added
•Hitachi H8 C compiler tool chain
•Fully featured integrated editors
•Designed to incorporate new tools more quickly
•Costomizable build process and integrated
MAKE facility
•Launches HDI for debugging.
Hitachi Debugging Interface (HDI):
The Hitachi Debugging Interface (HDI) is the latest
graphical user interface for debugging C and
assembler applications on Windows 95/98 &
NT/2000. Its design allows easy connection to
different platforms, while providing a consistent
debugging interface.
Flash Development Tool kit (FDT):
The Flash Development Toolkit (FDT) application
is the latest FLASH programming interface
supplied by Hitachi. This can be used to support
BOOT and USER modes for both Hitachi’s Flash
Evaluation Boards and a user's hardware. FDT
now supports all Hitachi FLASH microcontrollers,
with support for new devices to follow as and
when they become available.
•Support of detachable universal programming
board provided with EDKs and direct connec-
tion to customer’s own target.
•Support of Boot and User modes
•Modular Kernels provided for modification
•Advanced messaging levels to aid hardware
development
•Serial communications at speeds up to 115,200
baud
H8 HEW CD comes with the following:
•Hitachi Embedded Workshop (HEW)
•H8 C/eC++ and X-assembly tool chain
•Cycle-accurate simulator
•Macro assembler, linker and librarian
•Hitachi Debugging Interface (HDI)
•User manuals with Acrobat PDF installer.
