1.7 DEBUG HEADER HARDWARE SETUP
To set up your header, perform the following steps:
1. Check the debug header for any stickers and the header box for any paper
inserts that may specify special operating instructions (Figure 1-4). Follow these
instructions before doing anything else.
FIGURE 1-4: SPECIAL HEADER INSTRUCTIONS
2. Set any jumpers or switches on the header to determine device functionality or
selection, as specified for that header. See the sections “Optional Debug Head-
ers” or “Required Debug Headers” for information on how to set up individual
headers.
3. Connect the header to your desired debug tool by consulting the tool
documentation for connection options. An example connection is shown in
Figure 1-5.
The special -ICE/-ICD device is mounted on the top of a header and its signals
are routed to the emulator or debugger connector. These special device versions
are labeled with the appropriate suffix (e.g., Device-ICE).

4. Connect the header to the target board. On the bottom of the header is a socket
that is used to connect to the target board. The header can be connected to the
target board as follows:
a) PDIP header socket to PDIP target socket with a stand-off (male-to-male)
connector
b) Header socket to plug on the target board
c) Header socket to target socket with a transition socket (see the Transition
Socket Specification, DS51194)
An example connection is shown in Figure 1-6.
