Connecting to the Target Board

Attach one end of the six-conductor ribbon cable to the Smart Cable six-pin DBG connec-
tor. See Figure 2. Attach the free end of the ribbon cable to the connector on the target 
board. Ensure that pin 1 on the ribbon cable (indicated by the dark stripe) is aligned with 
pin 1 on the target connector. For further information on connecting the USB Smart Cable 
to your target board, refer to the

A half-twist in the ribbon cable between the ZiLOG-manufactured target 
board and the opto-isolated USB Smart Cable is normal.

USB Smart Cable Not Recognized

Disconnect all other USB devices (including keyboard and mouse if you can use PS2 ports 
instead). Make sure the USB Smart Cable is plugged in directly with no intervening hub. 
If this corrects the issue, reconnect devices one at a time to isolate the conflicting device.
