Preface
Welcome to the IAR C-SPY Hardware Debugger Systems User Guide for
Renesas PC7501 Emulator and Compact Emulator. The purpose of this guide
is to provide you with detailed reference information that can help you use the
features in the IAR C-SPY® Hardware Debugger Systems.
Note: Because the descriptions apply to more than one debugger system, and
because the debugger systems support more than one microcontroller, some
of the features and options described might not apply to your particular
combination of hardware debugger and microcontroller.
Who should read this guide
You should read this guide if you want to get the most out of the features in the C-SPY
hardware debugger systems. In addition, you should have a working knowledge of:
● The C or C++ programming language
● Application development for embedded systems
● The architecture and instruction set of the target processor (refer to the chip
manufacturer's documentation)
● The operating system of your host machine.
This guide also assumes that you already have a working knowledge of the target system
you are using, as well as some working knowledge of the IAR C-SPY Debugger. For a
quick introduction to the IAR C-SPY Debugger, see the tutorials available in the IAR
Embedded Workbench® IDE User Guide.
How to use this guide
This guide describes the C-SPY interface to the target system you are using; it does not
describe the general features available in the IAR C-SPY Debugger or the hardware
target board. To take full advantage of the whole debugger system, you must read this
guide in combination with:
● The IAR Embedded Workbench® IDE User Guide which describes the general
features available in the C-SPY debugger
● The documentation supplied with the target board you are using.
