1.2 ARM JTAG (20-pin) to Cortex JTAG (10-pin) Adaptor
Please note that your existing debugger might be supporting only the 20-pin ARM JTAG connector. In
such scenarios one would require a 20-pin to 10-pin adaptor and the necessary cables. The Xplorer has
on board Cortex SWD/JTAG 10 pin male connector, the 20-pin to 10-pin adaptor is not a part of the
Xplorer package, and user needs to buy them separately.
If the debugger supports the 10-pin Cortex header one needs to have the 10-pin ribbon cable and can
directly connect to the Xplorer. Please note even the 10-pin ribbon cable is not a part of standard
delivery and needs to be procured separately.
The picture below shows 20-pin cable, 20-pin to 10-pin adaptor and 10-pin cable.
