Debug Connector (J127)
The MCIMX53SMD board has one debug connector that can be used to connect the MCIMX53SMD board to
the debug board. It includes JTAG, RS-232, and Ethernet. It is easy to use to debug the board for SW engineer.
A debug board is supplied as part of the MCIMX53SMD board kit and can be inserted into the debug
connector at the point shown in
Figure 4-7
.
A standard Cat-V Ethernet cable is attached to the debug board at the Ethernet. The connector allows the
Ethernet IC to auto configure the port for the correct connection to either a switch or directly to a host PC on a
peer-to-peer network. It is not necessary to use a crossover cable when connecting directly to another
computer. A Cat-V Ethernet cable is supplied as part of the MCIMX53SMD board kit.
To connect a host PC to the MCIMX53SMD board to receive debugging information, a Null Modem serial cable
is required and supplied with the MCIMX53SMD board kit. For newer generation computers that do not have
a serial port, a USB-to-Serial cable can be used. There is no need for any special cabling to support debug
information output.
The debug board contains a standard 20-pin ARM JTAG connector for advanced debugging with a third-party
emulator. The header is configured to be used with 1.8V data signals. The developer should exercise caution
when selecting the appropriate debugging tools. If an emulator set for 3.3V power and data is connected to
the MCIMX53SMD board, the i.MX53 processor will be damaged.
