  • GR-PEACH
  • USB micro-B cable
  • J-Link series
  • J-Link 9-pin Cortex-M Adapter or equivalent
  • Cortex 9-pin header (1.25mm pitch 2x5)

If you do not have them, goto Exporting to e2studio (CMSIS-DAP debug).

Setup

Mount Cortex 9-pin header to GR-PEACH

Mount Cortex 9-pin header to "JTAG" of GR-PEACH.
Note: 7th pin is not used (without header).

Install Windows serial driver
