I cannot connect to my target board using an ICD Target Interface.

Check the following:

• Is the parallel port working correctly? Try to print a document using the parallel port. If successful, this ensures that the parallel port is available and connected.
• Is the BDM connector designed according to the specification from P&E?
• If you are running a Windows NT or Win98 operating system, you need to install an additional driver in order to be able to communicate with the software. (See NT Installation Notice in the debugger ICD Target Interface Manual.)
• Do not extend the original ICD Cable from P&E. Extending this cable often generates communication problems. Maximum cable length is 25 cm.
• The PC may be too fast for the ICD cable. You can slow down the communication between the PC and the Target using the environment variable BMDELAY (for example, BMDELAY=50).
