IECUBE for RL78 Family
Overview
The IECUBE for RL78 Family is a high-performance full-spec emulator for the RL78 MCU family. It provides high-performance debugging functions such as time measurement, coverage, and trace. In addition, a self-testing function detects faults in the IECUBE and performs maintenance.
