Operating Precautions for QB-Mini2
Customer Notification 5
(B) Description of Operating Precautions
No.1 Invalid internal high-speed RAM area after RESET
Details
If a RESET signal is generated at the RESET-pin or a RESET occurs due to POC during program
execution, below showed internal high-speed RAM areas become invalid:
-5 bytes from FECBh to FECFh (When Permit is selected in Target Power OFF field in the
configuration dialog box)
-10 bytes from FEC9h to FECFh and FEDDh to FEDFh (When Not Permit is selected in
Target Power OFF field in the configuration dialog box)
Workaround
No workaround available
No.2 Use of watchdog timer
Details
The watchdog timer cannot be used, because it’s forcibly stopped by the debug monitor program.
Don’t set the option byte to disable watchdog timer stop.
Workaround
No workaround available
No.3 Break during sub-clock operation
Details
In the configuration dialog box of the debugger it’s possible to define, if the operating clock during a
break is switched from sub-clock to main clock. But if UART is the communication channel
between QB-MINI2-EE and target device, an occurring break during sub-clock operation (while the
main clock has been stopped) will forcibly switch the operation clock to main clock. The device
continues its operation with the main clock after monitor program execution.
Workaround
No workaround available
No.4 Break during flash memory modifications
Details
Abreak may occurs at an unexpected address during flash memory modifications (for example
usage of flash self-programming libraries).
Workaround
Reset the device and repeat program execution.

No.5 Reset vector handling
Details
The reset vector cannot be used.
Workaround
No workaround available
No6 Modifying specific registers
Details
Peripheral I/O registers (except PCC and CKC), that require a specific program sequence for
access, cannot be modified in the I/O register of the debugger.
Workaround
No workaround available
No.7 Reset generation
Details
A break occurs, when an external reset (which isn’t masked in the debugger GUI) or an internal
reset is generated.
Workaround
No workaround available
No.8 Debugging with operation clock of 6MHz or lower
Target Device
78K0S
Details
The debugger does not start when the target device operating frequency is 6MHz or lower
Workaround
No workaround available. This item is corrected from firmware version V4.00 onwards.

Customer Notification 7
No.9 Downloading when operation clock is 10MHz
Target Device
78K0S
Details
When the target device operating frequency is 10MHz, an error will occur during download of a
program and the downloading cannot be completed.
Workaround
No workaround available
No.10 Display of register values
Target Device
78K0S
Details
Register values may be displayed incorrectly in the debugger during a break.
Workaround
This item is corrected in firmware version V4.00

(C) Product Version
The “Control Code” is an alphabetic code used to identify the hardware of QB-MINI2-EE. It is the second
digit from the left in the 10-digit serial number printed on the sticker attached to the bottom side of QB-MINI2-
EE (if it has not been upgraded).
The “Firmware” (F/W) is a program embedded in the controller device of the QB-MINI2-EE. The F/W version
is shown as Vx.xx.
The control code and firmware version can be checked with the QB-MINI2-EE diagnostic tool:
