This debug adapter is used to connect the iC5000 and the iC5700 BlueBox to Renesas RH850
based target featuring a 10-pin 1.27 mm pitch target debug connector with the RH850
proprietary (EPS) pinout.
The debug adapter connects to the 25cm 40-pin ribbon cable coming from the BlueBox and to
the target debug connector on the other side. Refer to the BlueBox User Manual for more
details on connecting the debug adapter.
The following pinout is valid on the target side:
When connecting the BlueBox to the new embedded target for the first time, double
check that the debug adapter pinout matches with the target debug connector. Note
that a mismatch can result in a hardware failure.
10-pin 1.27mm RH850 Debug Adapter features resettable fuses on all pins except for pin 1 and
pin 10. These fuses protect debug signals against overcurrent and cycle back to a conductive
state after the excessive current fades away. A signal on pin 1 is protected via 22 ohm serial
resistor.
The debug adapter connects to the target through one of the two 10-pin 1.27mm connectors.
Note that only one is to be connected to the target!
The one at the end of the cable is with a so called “strain relief” option (Samtec FFSD-05-01-N-
SR) and is the robust type when it comes to connecting and disconnecting it from the target
very often. This is the recommended connection connector to be used. However, the
connector is a bit wider and therefore the target must have a matching part populated.
Matching part on the target side is e.g. Samtec ESHF-105-01-L-D (full frame connector) or
Samtec FTSH-105-01-F-DV-K (connector without the frame at the side).
The second connector is 1cm away from the first one toward the blue box and is a “standard”
type (Samtec FFSD-05-01-N). It’s much less robust and is prone to fail if the cable is not handled
