A.2.3 Issues that may come up During Debug Operations
While using HEW to debug user code, some issues may come up because the limitations
discussed in section 6 were not satisfied. These common issues are listed on table A.2, including
the countermeasures.
Table A.2. Problems while Debugging
To re-initialize the system without closing HEW, try the following:
After initialization, debugging can resume. However, it is recommended that you download your
program again before debugging.
Note: If it has been identified that there are problems with the ICD, please see the ICD’s (RTA-
FoUSB-MON) user’s manual and troubleshooting.

Changes were made to SFR’s or other memory locations
causing MCU mode changes.
System is in “FreeRun” mode. Change the RUN mode to
“Sampling” from the “Init” window (Emulator System icon).
Changes were made to SFR’s or other memory locations
causing MCU mode changes (e.g. High speed oscillator
modified or stopped).
Ensure no limitations in Section 6 were violated.
Re-initialize the system without closing HEW. See note
below.
Do a hardware reset. User-program runaway may be
corrupting the kernel (RAM, interrupt vectors, flags, etc.)
Close HEW, reset hardware (disconnect & reconnect USB
cable), and then restart.
Filenames or directory names contain spaces or special
characters.
HEW project not properly set up (startup files missing or out
of order, files added to wrong member, etc). Try creating a
new project and adding your source files to it. For details,
please see HEW user’s manual.
