General safety instructions
Please read the following safety precautions carefully before putting this device to use to avoid
any personal injuries, damage to the instrument, or to the target system. Use this instrument
only for its intended purpose as specified by this manual to prevent potential hazards.
Use included power cord and power supply
The enclosed power supply has been approved for use by iSYSTEM. Please contact iSYSTEM if
you need to consider an alternative power.
Use grounding wire
Prior to applying power to either the BlueBox or the target, connect the device and the target sys-
tem together with the included grounding wire. This is to avoid potential damage caused by any
voltage difference between the device and the target system.
Use proper overvoltage protection
Ensure proper protection to avoid exposing the BlueBox device or the operator to overvoltage
surges (e.g. caused by thunderstorm, mains power).
Do not operate without cover
Do not operate the device with cover removed.
Avoid circuit and wire exposure
Do not touch exposed components or wires when the device is powered.
Do not operate with suspected damage
If you suspect damage may have occurred, the BlueBox device must be inspected by qualified
service personnel before further operation.
Do not operate the device outside its rated supply voltage or environ-
mental range
Consult with iSYSTEM before using equipment outside of the parameters provided in this
manual.
This symbol is used within the manual to highlight further safety notices.

Package content
iC5700 CI BlueBox On-Chip Analyzer is a hardware platform which allows hardware debugging
and testing a wide range of embedded microcontroller platforms that are based on a variety of
processor architectures and is implemented into Continuous Integration (CI) infrastructures.
Functionality can be further extended with the addition of our Active Probes. iC5700 CI comes
with almost the same functionality as the standalone products and is licensed on yearly sub-
scription basis.
The standard iC5700 CI order is delivered with the following components:

Device description

A – Two connectors, marked #1 and #2. These connectors are the interface to the target micro-
controller. Depending on the target microcontroller debug features, the supplied ribbon-cables
will need to be connected to either connector #1 only or connectors #1 and #2.
B – The indicator lights provide the status of the hardware:
Power Indicator
· On – Powered on
· Off – Powered off
R – Running Indicator
· On – Target microcontroller is executing code
· Off – Target microcontroller is halted
F –Free Indicator
· On – BlueBox is available for a connection from a host PC
· Off – Active connection to the BlueBox from a host PC exists
C – The grounding socket (GND) is used together with the Grounding wire to create an electrical
connection between the BlueBox and the target circuitry. The socket is suitable for a 2 mm Multi
Contact Plug (Banana Plug) if building a longer or a replacement cable on your own.
D– The FNet Port provides an interface for the iSYSTEM’s range of IOM6 accessories.
E – Reset (from revision R13). The Reset button loads the default firmware.
Use only if advised by the Technical support.
F– 10/100 Ethernet Socket
I– Power Switch
H– Power Supply Socket
The socket and plug are latching to
stop the plug from being accidentally
pulled out of the socket.
To remove the power plug from the
socket, always pull gently of the sleeve
of the plug and never on the wire.
G– USB 3.0 Socket
It is highly recommended to use the USB 3.0 cable,
because it fulfills the maximum USB 3.0 transfer
rate (5Gbit/s). Use of alternate cables must be un-
dertaken at your own risk.
Both the 10/100 Ethernet Socket (E) and the USB 3.0 Socket (F) can be connected to a net-
work/PC simultaneously. The active interface will be determined by whichever interface winIDEA
connects to first.

When powering on the system, switch the BlueBox unit on before powering on the Tar-
get. When powering down the system, power off the Target before powering off the
BlueBox unit!
FBridge port is not Ethernet port!
Use only original accessories for powering and connecting with the BlueBox unit. Con-
sult with Technical support before attempting to use any other accessory.

Hardware Setup and Configuration
For detailed visual presentation of the hardware setup and configuration, refer to the
Getting started tutorial - use the link isystem.com/start.
1. Connect the power supply cable. BlueBox should be switched off.
2. First connect via USB. Later you can configure TCP/IP connection to work remotely.
3. Connect the Grounding wire to the BlueBox and the Target.
If the Grounding wire is not connected, the ground potential difference between the
BlueBox 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 and the Target,
leading to the possible destruction of electronic components.
4. Connect the ribbon cable to the iC5 Debug Adapter.
5. Connect the ribbon cable to the BlueBox connector(s).
6. Connect the Debug Adapter to the Target. To disconnect squeeze the two metal latches on
the ribbon cables.
7. Power on procedure:
· BlueBox
· Target
8. Install winIDEA and create a new workspace.

Accessories
You can extend the functionality of your BlueBox with:
oActive Probes - Enable higher debug and trace performance, compact size, positioned as
far as 10 m away from the BlueBox.
oAdd-On modules - Enable parallel debugging of multiple targets, monitoring of network
traffic and monitoring and manipulation of analog and digital signals.
