* Current TriCore devices feature only one AGBT lane, while the Active Probe hardware is ready for future devices that could have more AGBT lanes.

 

Blue colored signals are trace signals.

Signal direction definition:

O - Output from the Active Probe to the target microcontroller
I  - Input to the Active Probe from the target microcontroller

 

B – mDIO port marked as TRIG on the housing

 

mDIO port provides two digital signals, which can interact with the embedded target. Each can be configured either for input or output operation.

C – The indicator light provides the status of the Active Probe as follows:

 

permanently-green

Permanently green – Powered on and ready to use.

blinking-green

Blinking green – Establishing connection with the BlueBox.

blinking-blue

Blinking blue – Reprogramming SPLASH.

permanently-magenta

Permanently magenta – Golden image loaded and ready to use.

 

D – FNet connector, that connects the Active Probe to the iC7max or iC5700. The FNet cable is delivered with the Active Probe.

 

Warning_orange

When powering on the system, switch the BlueBox on before powering on the target. When powering down the system, power off the target before powering off the BlueBox!

Use only original accessories for powering and connecting with the BlueBox. Consult with technical support before attempting to use any other accessory.

 

Target connector

The target should feature a matching part, for example, Samtec part number: ASP-137969-01 (Samtec Series ERF8, Rugged High-Speed Socket).
