(3) USB interface connector
This is a connector used to connect MINICUBE2 with the host machine, via a USB cable.
A USB 2.0 compliant mini-B connector (UX60A-MB-5ST: Made by Hirose Electric Co., Ltd.) is employed.
(4) Target interface connector
This is a connector used to connect MINICUBE2 with the target system, via a 16-pin target cable. Connect
the 78K0-OCD board for debugging a 78K0 microcontroller. To prevent the 78K0-OCD board from being
inserted by mistake, pin 11 is removed at shipment.
Since this connector is compatible with 16-core 2.54 mm pitch general-purpose connectors (female), a
commercially available cable can be substituted.
(5) Mode LED
The appearance of the mode LED changes according to the status of hardware and software, as shown in
Table 2-3.

Glowing
A debugger for V850 microcontrollers has been started and
CPU is in the break mode.
Blue
Flashing
A debugger for V850 microcontrollers has been started and
the CPU is running, or a program is being downloaded.
Glowing
A debugger for 78K0 microcontrollers has been started and
the CPU is in the break mode.
Orange
Flashing
A debugger for 78K0 microcontrollers has been started and
the CPU is running, or a program is being downloaded.
Glowing
A debugger for 78K0S microcontrollers has been started and
the CPU is in the break mode. The QB-Programmer has
been started and is waiting for execution processing.
Alternatively, execution processing has been completed.
Green
Flashing
A debugger for 78K0S microcontrollers has been started and
the CPU is running, or a program is being downloaded.
Glowing
A debugger for 78K0R microcontrollers has been started and
the CPU is in the break mode.
Yellow
Flashing
A debugger for 78K0R microcontrollers has been started and
the CPU is running, or a program is being downloaded.
A command from the QB-Programmer is being executed for
the flash memory.
Red Glowing
Connected
Detected
A command from the QB-Programmer is ended abnormally
(results in error)
Illumination
The illumination mode is entered when MINICUBE2 is connected to a USB interface and 15
seconds or longer have elapsed. This mode is also entered when the debugger is terminated
normally.
