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
system 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 environmental 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.

Blue colored signals are trace signals.
Signal direction definition:
O – Output from the Active Probe to the target microcontroller
I – Input to the Active Probe from the target microcontroller

B – mDIO port marked as TRIG on the housing
mDIO port provides two digital signals, which can interact with the embedded target. Each can be
configured either for input or output operation.

C – The indicator light provides the status of the Active Probe as follows:
Permanently green – Powered on and ready to use.
Blinking green – Establishing connection with the BlueBox.
Blinking blue – Reprogramming SPLASH.
Permanently magenta – Golden image loaded and ready to use.
D – FNet connector, that connects the Active Probe to the iC5700 BlueBox. The FNet cable is
delivered with the Active Probe.
When powering on the system, switch the iC5700 on before powering on the target. When
powering down the system, power off the target before powering off the iC5700!
Use only original iSYSTEM accessories for powering and connecting with the iC5700. Consult
with iSYSTEM before attempting to use any other accessory.

mDIO Cable
Ordering code
BB-AP-MDIO-20
mDIO Cable is used to connect the Active Probe mDIO port with the signals around the debugged
microcontroller, which can then be either read or controlled by the debugger. For example, the
debugger can periodically service an external watchdog through the mDIO output or just read and
record an external signal through the mDIO input. It must be ordered separately. Length of the cable
is 20 cm.

HSTCU (USB-C) to Samtec22 Converter
Ordering code
IAHSTCU-SAM22
The converter is used to connect the Infineon SGBT (HSTCU) Active Probe with the USB-C connector
to a target featuring Samtec 22-pin ERF8 debug connector. The 22-pin converter must be ordered
separately.
Connecting USB-C converter to the Active Probe
Used physical USB-C type connector doesn’t feature the USB interface as someone could presume
(there is no way to incorrectly insert it), but rather the Infineon AGBT (Aurora GigaBit Trace) interface
whose signals are connected to the connector in a way that USB-C connector orientation matters.
When attaching this converter to the Active Probe, make sure its marking A and marking B is
aligned and matches with the markings on the Active Probe connector.

Signal Direction is described from the BlueBox perspective.
When connecting the BlueBox to a target for the first time, double check that the debug
adapter pinout matches the Target connector. A mismatch can result in a hardware failure.

Hardware Setup and Configuration
For detailed visual presentation of the hardware setup and configuration, refer to Getting
started tutorial. Use short 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 FNet cable of Active Probe to the BlueBlux FNet port.
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.
5. Power ON the hardware in the following order:
a. BlueBox
b. Target
6. Install winIDEA and create a new workspace.
7. Configure Debug channel modes via Hardware / CPU Options / SoC.
For troubleshooting refer to Knowledge Base - kb.isystem.com.
More general settings are described in winIDEA Help.
