7.2 Connecting External Debuggers to an Xplained Pro Board
The Xplained Pro kits that features a 10-pin 50mil debug connector can use external debug tools like
SAM-ICE
™
or Atmel-ICE instead of the built-in EDBG. Evaluation kits with devices using the SWD
interface on-board has a connector that is pinout compatible with the Cortex Debug Connector.
The SAM-ICE is connected to the debug connector on an Xplained Pro using either an Atmel-ICE
adapter, SAM-ICE adapter, or a 10-pin 50-mil header to squid cable. When using a squid cable, see the
table and figures below for how to connect the SAM-ICE to the Xplained Pro board.
Table 7-1. Squid Cable Connections
