Infineon AGBT Active Probe
Infineon AGBT Active Probe - Enables debugging, tracing and testing of Infineon’s AURIX™
microcontroller family. It supports the DAP and Aurora GigaBit Trace (AGBT) interface
operating at their maximum frequency. Its small and compact hardware size allows for
connecting to a target microcontroller in a confined space as far as 5m away. The Active
Probe supports up to 4 parallel AGBT lanes, running at a maximum bitrate of 5Gbps..
iC5700 BlueBox On-Chip Analyzer - Hardware 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 our IOM6 Accessories, enabling the
synchronous capture of analog and digital signals in parallel to trace information. Such
capability is used for advanced debugging of complex applications together with our winIDEA
Integration Development Environment (IDE), as well as for thorough testing in conjunction with
our testing environment testIDEA.
winIDEA - Integration Development Environment (IDE) delivers the visual insights required to
debug your embedded application. At the simplest level, winIDEA provides all the usual
functionality of an IDE (breakpoints, stepping and device programming). Supported by a
target microcontroller, winIDEA can also visualize the timing and code coverage of the
application via the trace interface, as well as combine data captured by the IOM6 accessories.
Various third-parties also provide software tools to perform advanced worst-time-execution
analysis based upon the data winIDEA can export. When a Real-Time Operating System
(RTOS) is in use, the state of the RTOS and its tasks can also be visualized. More information
isystem.com/winideaide.
testIDEA - testIDEA environment simplifies the development of unit tests for embedded
applications. By making use of the winIDEA environment, this application makes it easy to
locate source code functions and generate test cases for them. Tests are then executed using
the Original Binary Code (OBC) method, testing the object code running on the target
microcontroller. The tests, which are stored as YAML files, can easily be added to a project,
maintained in a repository, and then automatically executed together with Continuous
Integration (CI) tools such as Jenkins. More information isystem.com/testidea.
isystem.connect - There are times when it is more efficient to write a script to execute a task
that requires many clicks within a visual development environment. This is where our
Software Development Kit (SDK) isystem.connect comes in. The well-documented interface
provides access to Python, Java, and other languages so that any action available within
winIDEA and testIDEA can be scripted. Scripts can also be executed directly from within
winIDEA, thereby allowing the developer to extend its functionality. More information
isystem.com/sdk.
iSYSTEM's solutions run under the Microsoft® Windows® operating system or optionally
within the Eclipse environment through a plug-in. All our software can be downloaded from the
Downloads page at http://www.isystem.com.

If the 10-pin 1.27 mm pitch ribbon cable gets damaged, it can be ordered as a spare part under
the ordering codes:
· IA10PIN10PIN127
· IA10PIN10PIN127-CUST - Custom cable length must be specified at the order.
Note that the optional length should be reasonable (e.g. 10 cm) since the quality of
electrical signals degrades with prolonging the cable.
iSYSTEM gives no assurance for BlueBox operation with this cable. The cable is meant
to be used only for boundary cases where BlueBox cannot be connected to the target
hardware through the standard debug adapter, for example due to the physical
obstacles of the target system. In such cases, operating the BlueBox at lower debug
frequency scan speeds and not using the trace functionality at all, might be still an
acceptable compromise. It’s up to the user to thoroughly test and qualify the BlueBox
operation using custom length ribbon cable and to determine working winIDEA settings
for his system.

Active Probe and the iC5700 Connecting Guidelines
1. Connect the iC5700 GND and the target GND using the Grounding wire delivered with the
iC5700.
If the Grounding wire is not connected, the ground potential difference between the BlueBox
hardware and the target can exceed well over 1000V even before any of the devices are
powered up. This voltage difference is discharged over the BlueBox hardware and the target
system, leading to the possible destruction of electronic components within the BlueBox
hardware, the target or both. Refer to winIDEA Help www.isystem.com/groundingwire for more
information.
2. Connect the iC5700 Power Supply to the mains outlet and the iC5700.
3. Connect the iC5700 to the PC via the supplied Ethernet or USB 3.0 cable.
4. Connect the Active Probe to the iC5700 FNet Port through the supplied FNet Micro
Cable.
If a cable longer than 1.0m is required (for example when debugging an ECU in a vehicle or a
confined space), optional 3.0m and 5.0m FNet Micro cables are available from iSYSTEM.
Although it looks similar to the HDMI interface, the FNet Port is not compatible with
HDMI or any HDMI accessories.
Connecting iSYSTEM hardware to HDMI accessories will damage the hardware and will
render the iSYSTEM hardware warranty void.

Setting Debug Interface Voltage Levels
The voltage levels for the debug interface are configured within winIDEA via Hardware menu /
CPU Options / Hardware.
When the microcontroller target supplies 5.0V to the Vref signal (pin 1), use the radio-button
selection to select the Vref option instead.

Further Active Probe Settings
The iC5700 can connect to AURIX™ target devices through:
· its installed DTM module and an appropriate DAP cable adapter (e.g. IC50163-2).
This debug system has limited maximum DAP frequency and does not support the DAPE
debug interface nor the AGBT interface. Alternatively, JTAG debug interface support is also
available through a dedicated JTAG cable adapter (e.g. IC50160).
· Infineon DAP/DAPE Active Probe supporting the DAP and DAPE debug interface
· Infineon AGBT Active Probe
· Infineon USB-C Active Probe
In order to switch from the default DTM interface use to the Active Probe use, open Hardware
menu / Options / FNet tab:
1. Click Refresh in Hardware menu / Options / FNet / Currently connected FNodes.
2. Click Create configurations for connected FNodes. Selected device is displayed in FNode
configurations.
Configuration is created. Look for:
· Listed devices with Matched FNode
· Y (for yes) under Matched config
· List of available networks

Lane link speed
By default the lowest Aurora link speed is set which ensures the most likely working trace
operation. Note that this setting directly impacts on Aurora trace interface bandwidth. The
higher the speed, more trace information per time unit can be broadcasted over the interface.
Hence, once the Analyzer trace operation (e.g. trace or profiler or coverage) is confirmed with
the default setting, higher Aurora link speeds should be tested and the highest operational
speed then selected for usage. This way the Active Probe will be configured for maximum
possible Analyzer session time. Different speeds are available.
The detailed configuration settings for the Active Probe can be selected via Hardware / CPU
Options / Aurora.
More general Infineon’s AURIX™ microcontroller family related settings are described in
winIDEA Help.

Accessories
IOM6 product line
The functionality of the iC5700 can be extended through the use of various modules from
