Connect the BlueBox and the Target via DAP/DAPE Active Probe

In this topic:

Configurations steps

Power on the hardware

Test the communication

 

 

Introduction

The Infineon DAP/DAPE II Active Probe is connected to the iC7max/iC5700 FNet port via the FNet cable and on the other side it connects to the Target via:

DAP connector - DAP interface provides access to the on-chip debug and the MCDS trace module.

DAP and DAPE connector - DAPE interface provides access only to the on-chip MCDS trace module and increases the bandwidth of the trace channel toward the debugger.

 

Warning_orange

You should design the PCB with the target debug connector(s) with the Keying Shroud since incorrect connection can cause damage to the hardware.

 

 

Configurations steps

 

number2

Connect the Active Probe's FNet cable to the BlueBox FNet port.

 

number3

Allocate the pin 1 on the Target and the ribbon cable connector.

Pin 1 can be marked by a dot next to the connector, number 1 marker or a triangle marker imprinted into the connector plastic, etc.

 

Number4

Push (and remove) the connector PARALLEL to the Target.

 

Number5

(optional) Repeat steps 3. and 4. with the DAPE cable.

Test the communication

By following these two simple steps, you can successfully verify communication with the BlueBox and eliminate the possibility of communication issues.

 

number1

Go to Hardware | Debugger Hardware | Communication.

 

number2

Press Test.
