3. Usage Precautions

3.1 Guaranteed Scope of the Starter Kit

The Starter Kit was developed for users to trial the 32176 Group microcomputer specifications and
development environment. Therefore, the results arising from the use of the Starter Kit are not
guaranteed.
The M3A-2195 (SDI Interface Board with Housing) was developed for use with only the Starter Kit.
If the M3A-2195 is used with any other system, its operation cannot be guaranteed.
When developing/debugging a system product using one of the M32R Family microcomputers,
please be sure to use official development tools separately available as you debug.
The Starter Kit should be run on the designated type of host machine (IBM PC/AT compatibles).
This designated type of host machine, however, is just an anticipated operating environment for the
Starter Kit and does not mean that the Starter Kit operates properly on all relevant types of
machines in all relevant environments (e.g., device drivers and peripheral units).
