It requires a 16-pin, male 2x8 header connector located on the targetdevelopment board. The layout of the connector is shown in Figure A-1 and the signals aredescribed in Table A-1. A mapping of PPC405x3 to RISCWatch signals is provided inTable A-2. At the board level, the connector should be placed as close as possible to theprocessor chip to ensure signal integrity. Position 14 is used as a connection key and doesnot contain a pin.Figure A-1: JTAG-Connector Physical LayoutUG018_50_1009011511620.1"0.1"
