The debug interface is supported by standard J-Link drivers from Segger. Please refer to “Software
Development Tools” on page 10 for more details on J-Link debug support.

This EVB also supports the use of an external Cortex SWD debug interface through a standard 10-pin
debug header (DEBUG IN - J1) as shown in Figure 3.

No jumper changes are required to use an external debug adapter. Simply connect the external debug
adapter with a 10-pin ribbon cable connector to the “DEBUG IN” header.
4.2 Use of J-Link Adapter as an External Target Board Debugger
The EVB also offers the ability to be used as a J-Link debug adapter for any target board that has an
Apollo family MCU.
