PRECAUTIONS:
• Power and Ground connections - to reduce the chance of ground loops and voltage differential that can damage
the emulator and trace pod, make sure that the power supplies for the PC, emulator, trace pod, target board, and any target
board peripherals (i.e. monitors, speakers, etc.) are plugged into the same power outlet/circuit
• Pin Saver - the trace product includes a 60-pin to 60-pin JTAG pin saver that is meant to be attached to the
trace pod’s target connector to prevent pins from getting bent when being plugged and unplugged from a target
board. Please use extreme care when making the 60-pin connections.

2Hardware Setup
1. Make sure that the emulator, trace pod, and target board are not powered!
You can refer to figure 2 for reference, which shows a sample hardware layout and its connec-
tions.
2. Verify step 1.
3. Connect power to the emulator (5v power supply).
4. Connect emulator to the PC (i.e. via USB cable) It is recommended that a USB hub
be used to isolate power and ground planes between the PC and emulator. This will start the
Windows Found New Hardware Wizard if it is the first time you attached the USB device to a port
on your PC . You will need to follow the directions in section 3,
but only after completing the steps in this section.
5. Connect trace pod (i.e. via connector with thumb
screws) to the emulator.
6. Connect power to the trace pod (12v power supply).
A ferrite has been supplied for use on the AC power cord for the
12 volt power supply where it has been found that, depending on
your AC voltage, will reduce EMI. Figure 1 shows how to attach
the ferrite to the power cord that fits your location’s plug require-
ments if not already attached.
7. Connect the trace pod to the target board. A pin con-
verter has been provided for debugging target boards with only a
14-pin header (trace is not support in this configuration).
8. Power the target board.
9. Go to section 3, USB PnP Installation Figure 2 - Sample layout and connections
The hardware setup requires that you have completed the Software Installation portion outlined in sec-
tion 1 first, and when completed, follow these steps to correctly connect the USB560T hardware.
USB PnP Installation 3
If this is the first time you are connecting the emulator to your PC, you will encounter the USB Plug and
Play process and the Windows Found New Hardware wizard. This section covers the steps to cor-
rectly install the Windows USB drivers for the emulator.
Please note that you may see the Found New Hardware wizard again on the same PC if you change
to a different USB port. Each port is treated separately and you may be prompted again. If this hap-
pens, just repeats these steps.
1. Make sure you followed the steps outlined in sections 1 and 2 and that the emulator is con-
nected to the PC and powered.
2. At the Windows Found New Hardware dialog, select the option to install drivers automatically.
• If, for some reason they are not found, use the option to install from a specific location. This location
is based on the location of CCStudio and where you specified installation during section 1.
• You will then be prompted for the folder location by the hardware wizard. The folder location should
be \CCStudio_v3.3\Blackhawk\drivers.1\USB-PCI, where the default CCStudio
installation folder location is \CCStudio_v3.3. Your location may be different if you
did not use the default folder.
• After selecting the folder, Windows will copy the driver files and complete the driver
installation. You can verify a successful USB driver installation by checking for the
emulator in the Blackhawk Control Panel (the icon to start the Blackhawk control panel,
shown here on the right, can be found on the desktop or inside the Windows Control Panel dialog).
3. Now you are ready to run the confidence test in section 4.
BHTProbe Confidence Test 4
Included with the software installation is a command line confidence test program, BHTProbe,exe, that
will verify connections and operation of the emulator and trace pod prior to starting CCStudio.
1. Make sure all connections are made and power is
applied for the emulator, trace pod and target board.
2. Open a Command Prompt window.
3. Change location to folder: \CCStudio_v3.3\cc\bin
4. Execute the command:
BHTProbe -F bh560usbm.out
Please note that this command can take up to 2 1/2 minutes to
run through all emulator and trace pod tests.
5. When the confidence test completes, continue to
section 5, CCStudio Setup.
If there is an error, re-run the test. If the error persists,
email the output to Blackhawk support. Sample output
is shown in figure 3.

1. Verify that CCStudio v3.3 or later has already been installed.
2. Insert the Emulation Driver CDROM into your PC’s CDROM drive.
3. Follow the installation wizard, and when done, you are ready to move to the Hardware Setup in section 2.
If the installer fails to start automatically when the CD ROM is inserted into the CD drive,
execute the file, X:\Setup\Setup.exe, where [X] is the drive letter for your CD ROM drive.
The USB560T shipped with an installation CD ROM that contains the necessary drivers for CCStudio
v3.3. If you have a later version of CCStudio (earlier versions not supported), or want to get the latest emula-
tor driver updates, please visit our web site download area at: http://www.blackhawk-dsp.com/Downloads.aspx
