Altium's USB JTAG Adapter enables you to create a JTAG link (incorporating multiplexed Hard and Soft
JTAG chains) from your PC (running Altium Designer) to a LiveDesign Evaluation Kit, using a USB
connection.

On the PC side, connect the USB JTAG Adapter to a spare USB port on the PC, using the supplied USB
cable.

On the Evaluation Kit connect via the use of nine of the ying leads from the supplied JTAG ying-
lead cable (10-way IDC 10 ying leads). The applicable ying leads are connected straight into the
relevant pins of the Evaluation Kit's parallel port header (J1C).

The following table lists the ying leads to be used and which pin of the parallel port header they
need to connect to.

The Orange ying lead labeled CONNECT is oating and can be left unconnected. It is not
connected at the Adapter end of the cable.
