Connecting to the Target Board
Power-On Sequence
Follow the steps below before connecting to target:
1. Connect the USB Smart Cable to the Host PC.
2. Connect the USB Smart Cable six-pin connector to the target board.
3. Apply power to the target board.
If the target is not connected properly, remove the USB Smart Cable from
the host PC and repeat the above steps. If the connection issues are still
there, see Troubleshooting Tips on page 7.
Attach one end of the six-conductor ribbon cable to the Smart Cable six-
pin DBG connector (see Figure 1). Attach the free end of the ribbon cable
to the connector on the target board. Ensure that pin 1 on the ribbon cable
(indicated by the dark stripe) is aligned with pin 1 on the target connector.
For further information on connecting the USB Smart Cable to your target
board, refer to either eZ80Acclaim! Design for Debug Technical Note
(TN0035) or Z8 Encore!®Design for Debug Technical Note (TN0036).

Troubleshooting Tips
If a hardware failure is suspected, contact a local Zilog representative for
assistance. Before submitting a problem report to Zilog Customer Sup-
port, follow the instructions in this section.
USB Smart Cable Not Recognized
Disconnect all other USB devices (including keyboard and mouse if you
can use PS2 ports instead). Ensure that USB Smart Cable is plugged in
directly with no intervening Hub. If this corrects the issue, reconnect
devices one at a time to isolate the conflicting device.
Host Does Not Boot
Systems with one or more USB devices connected may not boot properly
after you connect the USB Smart Cable. This issue is being investigated.
The workaround is to connect the USB Smart Cable, after the system
starts.
