Introduction The iC5000 BlueBox On-Chip Analyzer is a hardware and software platform designed for debugging and testing a wide range of embedded microcontroller platforms that are based on a variety of processor architectures. Functionality can be further extended with the addition of the I/O Module, enabling the synchronous capture of analog and digital signals in parallel to trace information.
Use this instrument only for its intended purpose as specified by this manual to prevent potential hazards. Use included power cord and power supply The enclosed power supply has been approved for use by iSYSTEM. Please contact iSYSTEM if you need to consider an alternative power. Use grounding wire Prior to applying power to either the BlueBox or the target, connect the device and the target system together with the included grounding wire.
Package content The standard iC5000 order is delivered with the following components: iC5000 Base Unit including 25 cm 40-pin ribbon cable Power supply pre-assembled DTM module Ordering code: Ordering code: Ordering code: IC50000 + IC50020 IC50020-25 IC30000-PS USB 2.0 cable...
Operation Device overview Device description The top face of the iC5000 features two key areas; the DTM connectors A and the indicator lights B: A – The Debug Trace Module (DTM) provides two connectors, marked #1 and #2. These connectors are the interface to the target microcontroller.

G – USB 2.0 Socket It is recommended to use the supplied USB 2.0 cable delivered with your iC5000 as it has been confirmed to fulfil the maximum USB 2.0 transfer rate. Use of alternate cables must be undertaken at your own risk.
BlueBox hardware, the target or both. Power Supply The iC5000 unit accepts a wide input voltage range from 10V to 24V DC, thus enabling the BlueBox hardware to work also with a 12V or 24V vehicle battery.

When fitting the ribbon cable to the iC5000, the connector must always be guided towards the iC5000 front panel with the red (edge) wire on the side of the ‘#1’ or ‘#2’ marking. Ensure the orientation key of the connector aligns with the notch on socket of the iC5000. Carefully press the cable connector straight down, keeping the connector parallel to the upper face of the iC5000, until the side latches lock.
Accessories I/O Module The functionality of the iC5000 can be extended through the use of the available I/O modules. Both provide monitoring and manipulation of analog and digital signals. Ordering Code Description IC50011 I/O Module (sync, trig out, 2x2 Analog In/Out, 2x8 Digital In/Out)
Standard debug adapters Various debug adapters are available to connect the iC5000 to a wide range debug connectors as commonly found on microcontroller development boards. Ordering Code Description 20-pin 2.54mm ARM Debug Adapter IC50111-1 14-pin 2.54mm ARM Debug Adapter IC50112 20-pin 1.27mm AMP Cortex Debug Adapter...
