8. Unified Solution
The key is quickly developing scalable solutions to meet the ever-changing market needs.
CubeSuite creates a unified portal for application development for Renesas microcontrollers.
Since many products are similar, time-to-market is an important factor in satisfying consumer and customer needs.
In order to reduce time, one method is to provide scalable microcontroller solutions so that there are several options available.
A unified platform provides an environment for moving between different devices.

16. Which microcontroller families does CubeSuite support?
Review
Which microcontroller families does CubeSuite support?
78K0, 78K0R and V850 MCU families
Give examples of components of CubeSuite.
Code Generator, Pin Configurator, Simulator and Program Analyzer
Describe the functionalities of each component.
Code Generator creates user defined workspace and source code to initialize MCU peripherals.
Pin Configurator lists pin usage, both possible and current selections.
Simulator has the ability to simulate microcontroller peripheral functionality.
Program Analyzer is used to analyze static and dynamic behavior of application.

17. Review What is the functionality of MINICUBE2?
It is both an on-chip debug emulator and a flash programmer.
The MINICUBE2 can provide power to target board. What are the voltage and current limits?
It can provide either 3 or 5 volts and up to 100 ma of current.
Where should code be placed so that code generator does not destroy it?
Place code between areas marked "Start user code" and "End user code".
What routine is called before the main() function?
The startup module is called after system reset. It will perform its duties then call main().
What are examples of startup module activities?
It reserves stack area, clear RAM area, and configures memory pointers for code execution and global variable access.

18. Review Which debug emulator tools does the V850 family support?
It supports MINICUBE2, V850 MINICUBE, IECUBE, and Simulator.
What type of breakpoints used for Access breaks?
Hardware breakpoints.
What methods can be used to collect dynamic data information?
Use register action event or program analyzer tool.
Which debug emulator tools collect trace information?
IECUBE and Simulator
Can CubeSuite work in flash programming and debugging mode at the same time?
No. You must disconnect from one tool before connecting to the other.
