1.2 Step 1: Installing the XDS510PP MPSD Emulator Pod
This section contains the hardware installation information for the emulator pod.
Preparing the emulator board for installation
The printer port connection on the back of the PC is a 25 Pin Female D connector.
Connect one end of the supplied cable to the printer port that you intend to use
(LPT1 or LPT2). Connect the other end of the cable to the 25 pin connector on the
XDS510PP emulator pod. The XDS510PP is also known as a scan path adapter.
The XDS510PP can be powered from two different sources. The easiest is to use
power from the target system. This is done automatically when the target cable is
connected. The pod uses the PD pin on the cable. The trace going to this pin on the
target board must be able to carry the current requirements of the pod. The second
source of power is the included 5 volt power supply
Warning: The power input to the pod must be regulated. Voltages higher than 5 volts
will destroy the emulator
Note: The external power supply must be used for 3 volt target systems.
Do not connect or disconnect the 25-pin D connector while the PC is powered up.
Do not connect or disconnect the 12-pin cable while the target system is powered up.
Target Cable Connectors:
Be very careful with the target cable connectors. connect them gently; don’t force
them into position, or you may damage the connectors.
