CREATOR pro supports two kinds of online debugging methods, one is to use CMSIS-DAP
way, the other is the common use of j-link debugging, Below to introduce two kinds of debugging
methods.
3.1 CMSIS-DAP
The CREATOR pro development board supports CMSIS-DAP debugger, DAP debugger. It
requires installing “serial to USB driver ”at first. Serial to USB driver can be found

3.2 J-Link(JTAG/SWD)
In the CREATOR pro development board, we set aside the JTAG standard interface, can be
used for developers to debug.
If the developer wants to use this JTAG interface, you need to connect to the corresponding
interface j-link, in our development board corresponding to the foot of the silk screen information.
Before using J-link debugging, you need to press the CREATOR pro development board
T/R button(Keep pressing), disable the DAP chip, because the DAP chip pin and JTAG pin
conflict, it must first disable the chip.
