Note

ID Check Function

The ID check function, which provides protection against accidentally erasing the user program, is supported except in R8C/10 and R8C/11 Groups with Boot Program Version 0.90. This function checks the addresses in which the ID code is stored when the Debugger is started up, and executes the debugging program (erase internal ROM and download Monitor Program) only when the ID code is "all FFh".
When the ID code is not "all FFh", the Debugger displays a time-out error and KD30 will not operate (internal ROM will not be erased and Monitor Program will not be downloaded).

ID Code at Debug Completion

[R8C/10 and R8C/11 Groups Boot Program Ver.0.90]
The Monitor Program sets ID3, ID4, and ID6 to "00h". All other codes are set according to the ID code of the user program. For example, if the user program ID code is set to "all FFh", the codes will be as follows.
Therefore, we recommend setting the user program ID code to "all 00h" .

[R8C/10 and R8C/11 Groups Boot Program Ver.1.00 or later and Other Groups of R8C Family]
The Monitor Program sets ID1 through ID7 to "all FFh". Therefore, regardless of what the ID code is set to in the user program, this will not be reflected in the final outcome. Accordingly, after debug is completed, the ID code will always be "all FFh".
