The Industry Standard for Almost Every Embedded Platform
The IDC20A debug probe was originally designed to debug SoCs with an Arm® CoreSight™ debug infrastructure. Due to the enormous success of the Arm architecture, this debug concept became the de-facto debug standard for multicore systems in the embedded market.
Today the IDC20A debug probe supports various of architectures and protocols to debug SoCs with and without CoreSight™ and is Lauterbach’s most successful debug probe.

Connect to Every Target
There are many different connectors used in embedded applications. We do have a wide range of converters to adapt to the corresponding connector used.
Converter from an IDC20A debug connector to a MIPI10 or MIPI20T connector. It is designed to connect the Lauterbach IDC20A Debug Probe to a MIPI10 or MIPI20T connector on the target. For a board with a MIPI20D connector (with TRST and RTCK) you require converter LA-3770 instead. Find out about the difference between the two converters at https://support.lauterbach.com/kb/articles/la-2729-vs-la-3770 Note: This converter does not connect the trace pins of a CoreSight MIPI20T connector since they are not used by IDC20A debug cables. Whereas tracing via SWO/SWV is supported.
Converter to connect an IDC20A debug cable to a target with MIPI34, MIPI20D, or MIPI10 connector. For connecting an IDC20A debug cable on a PowerTrace Serial use the converter LA-2770 instead. (LA-2770 is for a MIPI34 connector with pin 1 on the right sight, while LA-3770 expects pin 1 on the left side at the target.) For a board with a MIPI20T connector (with pins for off-chip trace) it is recommended to use the LA-2729 converter instead to avoid driver conflicts. Find out about the difference between the two converters at https://support.lauterbach.com/kb/articles/la-2729-vs-la-3770 Alternatively, you can connect to a board with MIPI20T connector by opening J101 and J102 on this converter to avoid driver conflicts, as described at https://repo.lauterbach.com/pdf/app_arm_target_interface.pdf
