The xSYS connector is provided to interface to an xTAG debug adapter. The xTAG debug adapter (included in the XK-EVK-XE216 kit) allows the XTC tools to interrogate the applica- tion running on the xCORE-200 device using the XMOS debugger and the xSCOPE library which provides non-intrusive program instrumentation.
