Connecting to target system

CAUTION:
Failure to properly connect the USB TAP probe to the target may damage the probe or target. Verify all connections before applying power.

The target system must have a debug port header that you can directly connect to the USB TAP probe. Make sure that you properly align the USB TAP multi-pin socket connector with the multi-pin header on your target system.

Note: Pin 1 is clearly marked on the gray ribbon cable by a red line down one side of the cable and a small triangle in the plastic socket.

Connecting USB TAP cable to target debug port header

  1. Turn off the power to the target system.
  2. Make sure that the USB cable from the USB TAP probe is not connected to the host computer.
  3. Make sure that pin 1 of the gray ribbon cable connector aligns with pin 1 on the target's debug port header.

    The figure below shows pin 1 of the USB TAP probe.

  4. Gently (but firmly) press the connector onto the target system debug port header.

This is how you can connect the USB TAP cable to the target debug port.
