Hardware Setup and Configuration

For detailed visual presentation of the hardware setup and configuration, refer to the 

Get-

ting started Tutorial

 - use the link isystem.com/start.

1. Connect the power supply cable. BlueBox should be switched off.

2. First connect the BlueBox to the PC via USB cable. Later you can configure TCP/IP connection to
work remotely. 

3. Connect the Grounding wire to the BlueBox and the Target. 

If  the  Grounding  wire  is  not  connected,  the  ground  potential  difference  between  the
BlueBox and the Target can exceed well over 1000V even before any of the  devices  are
powered up. This voltage difference is discharged over the BlueBox and the Target, lead-
ing to the possible destruction of electronic components.

4. Connect FNet cable of Active Probe to the BlueBlux FNet port.

5. Connect Active Probe's ribbon cable(s) to the Target.

Although  it  looks  similar  to  the  HDMI  interface,  the  FNet  Port  is  not  compatible  with
HDMI or any HDMI accessories.
Connecting the hardware to HDMI accessories will damage the hardware and will render
the hardware warranty void.

6. Power ON the hardware in the following order:

a. BlueBox
b. Target

7. Install winIDEA and create a new workspace. 

8. Configure Debug channel modes via 

Hardware / CPU Options / SoC

.

For troubleshooting refer to Knowledge Base - use the link kb.isystem.com.

More general settings are described in 

winIDEA Help
