● 50-mil 10-pin mini-squid cable with 10 x 100-mil sockets
Figure 2-7. Atmel-ICE Cables
For most purposes, the 50-mil 10-pin IDC flat cable can be used, connecting either natively to its 10-pin or 6-
pin connectors, or connecting via the adapter board. Three adapters are provided on one small PCBA. The
following adapters are included:
● 100-mil 10-pin JTAG/SWD adapter
● 100-mil 20-pin SAM JTAG/SWD adapter
● 50-mil 6-pin SPI/debugWIRE/PDI/aWire adapter
Figure 2-8. Atmel-ICE Adapters
Note
A 50-mil JTAG adapter has not been provided - this is because the 50-mil 10-pin IDC cable can
be used to connect directly to a 50-mil JTAG header. For the part number of the component used
for the 50-mil 10-pin connector, see “Atmel-ICE target Connectors Part Numbers” on page 27.
The 6-pin ISP/PDI header is included as part of the 10-pin IDC cable. This termination can be cut off if it is not
required.
To assemble your Atmel-ICE into its default configuration, connect the 10-pin 50-mil IDC cable to the unit as
shown below. Be sure to orient the cable so that the red wire (pin 1) on the cable aligns with the triangular
indicator on the blue belt of the enclosure. The cable should connect upwards from the unit. Be sure to connect
to the port corresponding to the pinout of your target - AVR or SAM.
