DESCRIPTION
The ST20-JPI parallel port to JTAG interface is
a host interface to allow connection from a PC
parallel port to any JTAG diagnostic controller
based ST20 development board. The interface
plugs into any standard PC 25 way D-type
parallel port. Supported parallel port modes
are:
• Nibble mode
• Byte mode
• EPP mode
depending on which mode the host PC can
support. Connection to the development target
is via a 20 way IDC JTAG connector. Once
connected, the development target can be
accessed using the MS Windows drivers
supplied with the standard ST20 toolset.

2Installation
2.1Hardware Installation - PC
The ST20-JPI has six connections: Parallel port; Differential OS-Link, JTAG, TrigIn, TrigOut and
Power supply. To install the hardware connecting to a PC, the following steps should be followed:
•Plug the 25-way D-type of the par allel port cable built into the interf ace , into the par allel port
of the PC.
•Plug the target development system into the 20-way IDC connector using a 20 way IDC
cable.
•Plug power supply cable into PSU socket of the interface.
•Plug the power supply into the mains socket.
•Switch on the PC.
•Switch on the power supply. The LEDs on the interface should illuminate once the software
is running. For a description of the meaning of the LEDs, see the ST20 toolset documentation.
The ST20-JPI can also be attached to the Ethernet via a B300. To install the hardware connecting
to a B300, the following steps should be followed:
•Connect the B300 to the ST20-JPI using a Differential OS-Link cable supplied with the
B300.
•Plug the target development system into the 20-way IDC connector using a 20 way IDC
cable.
•Plug power supply cable into PSU socket of the interface.
•Plug the power supply into the mains socket.
•Switch on the B300.
•Switch on the power supply to the ST20-JPI. The LEDs on the interface should illuminate
once the software is running. For a description of the meaning of the LEDs, see the ST20
toolset documentation.
•Switch on the Target power supply.

3.3Differential Link Connection
The Differential OS-Link connector is used to connect the ST20-JPI to a B300 instead of a Parallel
port.
The two coaxial SMB connectors to the left of the LEDs are used to connect the ST20-JPI to a
Logic Analyser. They are used to signal between the Host, Target and Logical Analyser when an
event occurs. If, for instance, an event occurs on the Target processor, the TrigOut signal is
triggered which could start the Logic Analyser tracing an external event, so aiding software/
hardware debugging.
