Connect the BlueBox and the Target with the Debug Adapter
In this topic:
Introduction
Your power supply, USB and grounding wire is setup.
Depending on the hardware configuration, the BlueBox can be connected to the Target via architecture-specific Debug Adapter:
•One ribbon cable detached from Debug Adapter (iC7mini/iC7pro/iC5)
•Two ribbon cables pre-attached to Debug Adapter (iC5)
The Debug Adapter is directly connected to the Target on one side and connects via the ribbon cable to the BlueBox connector located on top.
Push carefully (and remove) and PARALLEL both sides and listen for the “click”!
Configurations steps
1. Connect the ribbon cable to the Debug Adapter.
2. Connect the ribbon cable to the BlueBox connector(s).
The cable(s) should face away from the BlueBox, with the red (edge) wire on the side of the #1 (and #2) marking:
•iC7mini/iC7pro: Debug Adapter, which comes with one ribbon cable, always connect to the #1 connector located on top of the BlueBox.
•iC5: Debug Adapter, which comes with one detached ribbon cable, always connect to the #1 connector located on top of the BlueBox.
3. Connect the Debug Adapter to the Target.
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.
4. To disconnect, squeeze the two metal latches on the ribbon cables.
Power on the hardware
1. Power on the BlueBox.
2. Power on the Target.
When debugging is completed the hardware should be powered off in the reverse order.
Test the communication
By following these two simple steps, you can successfully verify communication with the BlueBox and eliminate the possibility of communication issues.
1. Go to Hardware | Debugger Hardware | Communication.
2. Press Test.
If the Communication Test Status displays Hardware not found , follow the BlueBox Hardware category in Knowledge Base.
