23.3 How to Connect the On-chip Debug Emulator to a Target System
To use the on-chip debug function, the specific pins on a target system must be connected to an external debugging
system.
The on-chip debug emulator RTE870/C1 can be connected to a target system via an interface control cable. TOSH-
IBA provides a connector for this interface control cable as an accessory tool. Mounting this connector on a target
system will make it easier to use the on-chip debug function.
The connection between the on-chip debug emulator RTE870/C1 and a target system is shown in

Figure 23-1 How the On-chip Debug Emulator RTE870/C1 Is Connected to a Target System
Note 1: Ports P20 and P21 are used as communication control pins of the on-chip debug function. If the on-chip debug emulator
RTE870/C1 is used, therefore, the port functions and the functions of UART0 and SIO0, which are also used as ports,
cannot be debugged. If the emulator is disconnected to be used as a single MCU, the functions of ports P20 and P21 can
be used. To use the on-chip debug function, however, P20 and P21 should be disconnected using a jumper, switch, etc.
if there is the possibility of other parts affecting the communication control.
Note 2: If the reset control circuit on an application board affects the control of the on-chip debug function, it must be disconnected
using a jumper, switch, etc.
Note 3: The power supply voltage VDD must be provided by a target system. The VDD pin is connected to the emulator so that
the level of voltage appropriate for driving communication pins can be obtained by using the power supply of a target
system. The connection of the VDD pin is for receiving the power supply voltage, not for supplying it from the emulator
side to a target system.
23.4 Security
The TMP89FM42 provides two security functions to prevent the on-chip debug function from being used through
illegal memory access attempted by a third person: a password function and a Security Program function. If a password
is set on the TMP89FM42, it is necessary to authenticate the password for using the on-chip debug function. By setting
both a password and the Security Program on the TMP89FM42, it is possible to prohibit the use of all on-chip debug
functions. Furthermore, by using the option code, the on-chip debug function only can be used even if the Security
Program is enabled. However, to use the on-chip debug function in this setting, a password authentication process is
required.
For information on how to set a password and to enable the read protection and option code, refer to "Serial PROM
Mode".
