JTAG Connector Pinout

The 2x5 female socket have to be connected to the corresponding pin header on the target system. The signal assignment of the pin header on the adapter board is fully compatible to original USB blaster. Furthermore there is also an UART interface available and user configurable I/O pin (usable e.g. as Reset signal).
