Active Probe and the iC5700 Connecting Guidelines
•
Always start by connecting the iC5700 GND and the target GND using the grounding wire
delivered with the iC5700.
If the grounding wire is not connected, the ground potential difference between the
BlueBox hardware and the target can exceed well over 1000V even before any of the devices
are powered up. This voltage difference is discharged over the BlueBox hardware and the
target system, leading to the possible destruction of electronic components within the
BlueBox hardware, the target or both.
•
Connect the iC5700 Power Supply to the mains outlet and the iC5700.
•
Connect the iC5700 to the PC via the supplied Ethernet or the USB 3.0 cable.
•
Connect the Active Probe to the iC5700 FNET Port through the supplied FNET Cable.
If a cable longer than 1.0m is required (for example when debugging an ECU in a vehicle or
a confined space), optional 3m and 5m FNET cables are available from iSYSTEM.
Although it looks similar to the HDMI interface, the FNET Port is
not compatible
with
HDMI or any HDMI accessories.
Connecting iSYSTEM hardware to HDMI accessories will damage the hardware and will
render the iSYSTEM hardware warranty void.
•
Connect the Active Probe Samtec 22-pin ERF8 connector to the target.
Setting Debug Interface Voltage Levels
The voltage levels for the debug interface are configured within winIDEA via the menu option
Hardware / Emulation Option / Hardware
tab as shown below.
