TMDSEMU110-U: Regarding the specifications of the converter adapter that comes with it.

Hi Kier

Thank you for your quick reply.

I may have misunderstood.

Looking at the documents you sent, it seems that the configuration is to attach a

"CTI-20 to Cortex-M 10-pin adaptor" to the "XDS110 Probe" and connect it to the

connector on the target board via the "Debug probe connector" of each manufacturer

mentioned in the documents, right?

I thought that the configuration was to connect the "XDS110 Probe" and "CTI-20 to

Cortex-M 10-pin adaptor" with a cable and then fit the "CTI-20 to Cortex-M 10-pin adaptor"

to the connector on the target board.

My initial thought was wrong, and if the above thinking is correct, the problem is solved.

Best regards,

This sounds correct to me.

Apologies but I can only advise on how I connect the debugger in my situation.

I use ribbon cable plugged into the TMDSEMU110-U then I attach the CTI-20 to TI 14-pin adaptor. This is then plugged into the TMDSHSECDOCK.

I don't use the other adaptors:

- CTI-20 to Cortex-M 20-pin adaptor

- CTI-20 to Cortex-M 10-pin adaptor

So I guess this is not very helpful.

Yamada-san,

Is your issue resolved? Or do you have any further questions?

Hi Kier

Thank you for your comment.

I'm sorry that my translation into English didn't seem to get through well.

I also watched YouTube and understood.

So you connect a converter adapter to the 20-pin debug cable and then connect it directly to the connector on the target board, right?

I'm connecting via SWD so I'll be using a 10-pin converter adapter, but are there any documents that show the external dimensions?

If I don't want to connect the 10-pin converter adapter directly to the connector on the target board, can I just connect the

debug probe connector (cable assembly) that is listed in the documents you sent me before?

Best regards,

Hiroshi Yamada

Yes, this is correct if you are using the TMDSHSECDOCK board that Kier shows in the posted image.

This page has links to the components, where you can find the dimensions: https://software-dl.ti.com/ccs/esd/documents/xdsdebugprobes/emu_jtag_connectors.html

Hi Brennan

Thank you for the information.

However, I checked the page and links you provided, but I was unable to find the external dimensions

of the 10-pin converter adapter I want to use.

Perhaps I'm checking incorrectly?

I did find information about the connector used.

I'm sorry to bother you again, but I would appreciate any more information.

Best regards,

The dimensions of the debug probe connector are not publicly available.

However, you can check the third party debug probe connectors here as a reference.

Hi Brennan

Thank you for your advice and information.

So information about TI products isn't made public?

That's unfortunate.

I'm checking with a third party.

There is no information on the external dimensions and I can't access the manufacturer's website.

I have requested information from manufacturers I have access to.

Thank you.

Hi Brennan

Sorry.

Could you please tell me?

Am I correct in understanding that the board header listed in the link from the page you sent is the

connector to be used on the target side (the board developed by the user)?

Best regards,

Hiroshi Yamada

The design files for this product are not publicly available. It is an older product and the design files are not published to ti.com. I can measure the 20 pin to 10 pin adapter when I am back in the office 1/6/2025.

The board headers listed in the link I sent is to be used on the target side. Ensure you are looking at the Board Header components listed here: https://software-dl.ti.com/ccs/esd/documents/xdsdebugprobes/emu_jtag_connectors.html#arm-cortex-10-pin-header-information 

Regards,

Brennan

Hi Brennan,

Thank you for your comment.

I understand that the board header is for use on the target side.

Thank you.

As for the 20-pin to 10-pin adapter, please measure it when you get back to the office.

It will be in time for the development period, so please do it.

Best regards,

Hiroshi Yamada

Hi Brennan,

Happy New Year.

Thank you for your response, which was quicker than expected.

I was on vacation so I apologize for the late reply.

It was very helpful.
