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.) 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
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 an IDC20A debug cable or a CombiProbe to a MICTOR38 connector on the target. This is useful, if you want to debug without a Preprocessor and 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). Please note that a high trace bandwidth, as can be output via a Mictor connector, may require a PowerTrace.
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.
