Finally, connect the debug cable adapter to the target.
Connecting flat cable to the iC5500 Base Unit (DTM #1 and #2 connectors)
When default 25 cm 40-pin flat cable is not suitable for some reason (e.g. too short to reach the target or too long
for the trace to work at maximum microcontroller frequency), additional cables can be ordered separately:
- IC50020-10 (10cm)
- IC50020-25 (25cm) e.g. in case if the original cable gets damaged.
- IC50020-40 (40cm) *might not work at full speed
- IC50020-60 (60cm) * might not work at full speed
With all lengths longer than default 25 cm, it’s up to the user to determine working debug tool settings
and to test and confirm a working operation of the whole setup. Note that iSYSTEM provides no
guarantee for working operation for these lengths.
Certain debug cable adapters (for example 16-bit Nexus (IC50152), 16-bit ETM (IC50115) and 10-pin Infineon
DAP (IC50163)) come delivered with two, 30-pin and 40-pin flat cable pre-attached. With these, 25 cm 40-pin
flat cable, which comes with the iC5500, is not needed.

Connecting guidelines for debug cable adapters with two flat cables:
Be gentle when connecting one connector to the other! Do not use any excessive force, observe the
orientation key and connector notches!
First, connect the 30-pin flat cable to the iC5500 DTM #2 connector.
The cable should be facing away from the iC5500 Base Unit with the red (edge) wire on the side of the
DTM #2 marking..
Align the orientation key/notch of the cable connector with the notch on the iC5500 30-pin connector
marked with #2.
