3.3.5 RS-232C Connector Present, all communication between the ICE50 and AVR Studio is done through a stan-
dard RS-232C interface. This is the communication protocol used by COM ports on
PCs. The communication runs at 115200 bit/s, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, (N81).
For information on how to connect the ICE50 to a PC see the Connecting ICE50 to PC

3.3.6 Reset Button By pressing the reset button on the ICE50, a Warm Reset of the Emulator is preformed.
After approximately 15 seconds the configuration is completed, and the green status
LED will turn on indicating that the emulator is ready for use. See Figure 3-6.
3.3.7 Power Switch The Power Switch is the main on/off switch for the ICE50 Emulator. Switching this off
will turn off power on the ICE50. The ICE50 will however remain grounded to the power
supply. See Figure 3-7.
