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 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.)
Converter to connect Preprocessor AutoFocus II Mictor38 to MIPI60 (QSH) connector ARM/Cortex: Converter to connect Mictor38 TRACE A and TRACE B (32-bit ETMv3/PTM) and an IDC20A Debug Cable to a MIPI60 connector on the target Intel x86/x64: Converter to connect Mictor38 TRACE A to to a MIPI60 connector on the target Former name: Conv. Prepro.AF II Mictor, ARM20 to MIPI60
Converter to connect an IDC20A Debug Cable to a TI-14 connector which is used on many targets with processors from Texas Instruments Former name: Converter ARM-20 to TI-14
Converter to connect the IDC20A Debug Cable to a Mictor connector on the target providing both debug and trace signals. This is needed if you want to connect the Debug Cable without a Preprocessor and if there is only a Mictor on the target. Former name: ARM Converter ARM-20 to Mictor-38
Converter to connect a Debug Cable to a TI-14 or TI-20-Compact connector which is used on many targets with processors from Texas Instruments Former name: Converter ARM-20 to TI-14 or TI-20-Compact
Converter to connect an IDC20A Debug Cable to a 14-pin JTAG connector on Xilinx target boards.
Converter from IDC20A and HSSTP to R-Car H3 Starter Kit from Renesas Former name: Conv. ARM-20/Samtec40 HSSTP to RCAR-H3-SKIT
Converter to connect an AutoFocus II Preprocessor with MICTOR-38 and an IDC20A Debug Cable to MIPI-10/-20/-34. Enables the AutoFocus II Preprocessor to receive trace data from the 4-bit wide trace port of a MIPI-34 target connector. The converter is configured for MIPI-34 via 0 Ohm resistors. By soldering the resistors differently MIPI-20T can be supported as well. You can get the same converter pre-configured for MIPI-20T by ordering LA-3809 Converter Mictor-38/IDC20A to MIPI-20T.
Converter from Mictor38 of the ETM trace port plus IDC20A to Mictor38 of RTP port of TI chips Former name: Conv. Mictor38/ETM+JTAG20 to Mictor38/RTP
Converter to connect an IDC20A debug cable to the 34 pin DEBUG connector on a PowerTrace Serial. MIPI-34 connector does not have key pin. For connecting an IDC20A debug cable to an AutoFocus-II-MIPI preprocessor (LA-3160) or an AURORA 2 preprocessor (LA-3945) use the converter LA-3770 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.)
Converter to connect the ARM Debug Cable or the CombiProbe to a Mictor connector on the target. This is needed if you want to debug without a Preprocessor and if there is only a Mictor connector on the target. The trace signals of the CombiProbe are connected to the lowest four trace signals of the Mictor (ETMv3 pinout, continuous mode). But tracing is normally no use case due to the bandwidth limitations of the CombiProbe. Former name: ARM Conv. ARM-20/MIPI-34 to Mictor-38
Converter to connect an IDC20A Debug Cable to a MIPS-14 connector on the target Former name: Converter ARM-20 to MIPS-14
Converter to connect an AutoFocus II Preprocessor with MICTOR-38 and an IDC20A Debug Cable to MIPI-10/-20T/-34. Enables the AutoFocus II Preprocessor to receive trace data from the 4-bit wide trace port of a MIPI-20T target connector. The converter is configured for MIPI-20T via 0 Ohm resistors. By soldering the resistors differently MIPI-34 can be supported as well. You can get the same converter pre-configured for MIPI-34 by ordering LA-3842 Converter Mictor-38/IDC20A to MIPI-34.
