Accessory 3-pin Cable for Debug Interface
The 3-pin Debug Interface cable can be ordered as an accessory from the factory, P/N: 95218134LF, model: CA-
MTCDT-DEBUG. Otherwise, you have the option to build it yourself. See details in the following section.
Building the 3-pin Cable
As an alternative to the accessory cable for the 3-pin debug connector, you can build a custom cable to use the
debug interface. The resulting cable should have a USB-A connector for the host end and the 3-pin connector on
the device end. See tables under the cable and connector information for specific parts and manufacturers that
you can use.
You need:
USB to 3.3V Serial UART cable
JST-ZHR-3 connector (3-pin connector with crimp-style contacts )
Custom crimping tool (for use with JST connector only)
