(this can happen during profiling and during energy measurement.) A target reset button (SW1) is provided on MCU-Link Pro; note that this does not reset the LPC55S69 MCU-Link processor. 4.2 Powering the target MCU-Link Pro provides an option power to the target system (via the target SWD connector) from one of its on-board regulators. -
Page 9: Vcom (Usb To Target Uart Bridge)
MCU-Link Pro includes a UART to USB bridge (VCOM) function. A target system UART can be connected to the MCU-Link Pro via connector J19 (pin 8 and 9) using the supplied cable. The Violet wire connects to the MCU-Link Pro UART input (target TXD) and Gray to the UART output (target RXD). -
