3.00.95
Fixed [PICE-51]: A bug, concerning the operation of the UART in a single-step mode (files m51.000, sl51.000, sl51.001). Affects pods: POD-51-RX, POD-51-554, POD-51-453. Description: The freeze option of the emulation chip caused the reset of the RI, TI flags of the UART. To aviod this the freeze option was canceled, so the deviation of the timers in hardware configuration "On-chip ROM = 64K" became the same as in configuration "On-chip ROM = None".
Fixed [PICE-51]: A bug in the emulator hardware. Affects pod: POD-51-DS530. Description: An attempt to break an emulation at addresses between 500h..5FFh caused the emulator failure.
Added [PICE-51]: Support of the new POD-51-RX2. This pod provides the emulation of the following Philips microcontrollers with 6-cycle core: - 89C51RB2, 89C51RC2, 89C51RD2; - 89C660, 89C662, 89C664, 89C668.
Added [PICE-51]: Support of banking memory models. Affects pod: all pods. Description: This feature is available only in configuration with the main board with extended memory, named PICE-51/X, and provides the emulation of up to 256 Kbyte program and up to 256 Kbyte data memory.
Improved [PICE-51]: The behaviour of the signals /WRS, /RDS changed. Affects pods: all pods, except POD-51-DS530. Description: when using Philips microcontrollers 8xC51Rx+ in configuration with enabled on-chip XRAM and P3.6, P3.7 pins in configuration "General Purpose I/O" an illegal state of the emulator hardware appeared when MOVX instruction access to the on-chip XRAM matched the state, when P3.6 and/or P3.7 pins were set to logical zero. This situation was interpeted by the emulator hardware as an attempt to write/read the external data memory. Now pins P3.6 and P3.7 in configuration "General Purpose I/O" are not affected by MOVX instructions.
Fixed: A bug in IDE, concerning Keil Software crosstools support. Description: the bug caused the Exception 13 error during execution of make and build procedures.
