My target board is wired with Renesas Microcontroller Unit M16C/6N5 Group. Device M306N5FC. The target board is connected to Renesas E8a Emulator or debugger. The debugger software that I'm using is Renesas High-performance Embedded Workshop Version 4.09.01.007.
I start the debugger program. I click on connect. I select the MCU Group and Device. Then, for mode I select 'Erase Flash and Connect'. I then select 'Power Target from Emulator' and select 5 Volts. I click OK. While the debugger software is connecting, it says flash memory is erasing. I am using this microcontroller in single-chip mode. I view the contents of internal ROM. They are erased except the vector table at 0xFFFDC - 0xFFFFF isn't erased.
Then, I try to download my executable that contains debugging information. It always downloaded the code to internal ROM but now it never works. Debugger displays the following message:
"Memory area error. It overlaps the system range".
Internal ROM is 128-Kbytes. It's address range is: 0xE0000 - 0xFFFFF.
To the best of my knowledge I didn't change anything. Why suddenly I cannot the load code into ROM. This flash chip is rated for 100 write cycles. Have I exceeded the write cycle limit?
I have spaghetti wiring between my target board and actuators. Could this be wiring issue?
I look at the release version of executable, Motorola s-record. It's all FF's, except address range 0xFC000 - 0xFFE4D has data. This must be the code I'm loading with the debugger. This is within the system range.
