Hardware Setup Using A Usb Debug Adapter - Silicon Laboratories C8051F530A User Manual

4. Hardware Setup Using a USB Debug Adapter

The target board is connected to a PC running the Silicon Laboratories IDE via the USB Debug Adapter as shown
in Figure 2.
1. Connect the USB Debug Adapter to one of the DEBUG connectors on the target board (HDR1 or HDR2)
with the 10-pin ribbon cable. The recommended connection is to the HDR2 (connected to U2) as this micro-
controller can be connected to the CP2102 USB to UART bridge.
2. Verify that shorting blocks are installed on J13 and J14 to supply power to the target devices.
3. Connect one end of the USB cable to the USB connector on the USB Debug Adapter.
4. Connect the other end of the USB cable to a USB Port on the PC.
5. Connect the ac/dc power adapter to power jack P5 on the target board.
Notes:
• Use the Reset button in the IDE to reset the target when connected using a USB Debug Adapter.
• Remove power from the target board and the USB Debug Adapter before connecting or disconnecting the
ribbon cable from the target board. Connecting or disconnecting the cable when the devices have power can
damage the device and/or the USB Debug Adapter.
