Connecting to target and your host computer

To run your software using the USB TAP probe, you must have working target hardware. This chapter explains how to connect the USB TAP probe to such hardware and to your host computer.

This chapter explains:

CAUTION:

The USB TAP probe contains components that are subject to damage from electrostatic discharge. Whenever you are using, handling, or transporting the USB TAP probe, or connecting to or disconnecting from a target system, always use proper anti-static protection measures, including using static-free bench pads and grounded wrist straps.

Debug port connector information

The USB TAP probe is a powerful development tool for use with a wide variety of processors that use either JTAG/COP, DPI, ColdFire BDM, or OnCE debug interfaces.
Connecting to target system

The target system must have a debug port header that you can directly connect to the USB TAP probe.
Connecting to host computer

Steps to connect to the host computer.
Setting debug port clock frequency

The debug port on the target is a synchronous interface clocked by the TCK or DSCK signal.
