Hardware User Manuals

 

 

A –  Two connectors, marked #1 and #2. These connectors are the interface to the target microcontroller. Depending on the target microcontroller debug features, the supplied ribbon-cables will need to be connected to either connector #1 only or connectors #1 and #2.

 

B – The indicator lights provide the status of the hardware:

 

•On – Powered on

•Off – Powered off

 

•On – Target microcontroller is executing code

•Off – Target microcontroller is halted

 

•On – BlueBox is available for a connection from a host PC

•Off – Active connection to the BlueBox from a host PC exists

 

C – The grounding socket (GND) should be used, together with the supplied Grounding wire to create an electrical connection between the BlueBox and the target circuitry. The socket is suitable for a 2 mm Multi Contact Plug (also known as a Banana Plug) if building a longer or a replacement cable on your own.

 

D – Power Switch

 

E – Power Supply Socket

The socket and plug are latching to stop the plug from being accidentally pulled out of the socket. To remove the power plug from the socket, always pull gently of the sleeve of the plug and never on the wire.

 

 

F – 10/100 Ethernet Socket

 

G – USB 2.0 Socket

Recommended to use the USB 2.0 cable. The USB 2.0 interface provides the highest possible data transfer rate of the two available interfaces. Use of alternate cables must be undertaken at your own risk.

 

Both the 10/100 Ethernet Socket and the USB 2.0 Socket can be connected to a network/PC simultaneously. The active interface will be determined by whichever interface winIDEA connects to first.
