=Connecting the Flyswatter2 and the Beagleboard XM=

To hook up the Flyswatter2 and the Beagleboard XM, you will need:


 * 20-pin ARM to 14-pin TI JTAG Adapter Board
 * 14-pin JTAG Ribbon Cable
 * RS-232 Serial Cable with one male, one female head
 * USB Male A/Male B Cable
 * 5V1A Power Cable

Set the EMU pins on the JTAG Adapter Board.
The EMU0 and EMU1 pins should be set to 1. Set both jumpers to the position closest to the 14-pin interface, as in the picture. 

Connect the JTAG Adapter Board to the Flyswatter2.
Connect the 20-pin end of the adapter board to the Flyswatter2's JTAG interface. 

Connect the 14-pin Ribbon Cable to the JTAG Adapter Board.
Your cable most likely has a notch on the head to force it into the correct position. If it doesn't, align Pin 1 on the ribbon cable with the side of the board opposite the EMU pins. (In the picture, Pin 1 is marked by the red stripe on the cable.) 

Connect the 10-pin Ribbon Cable to the RS-232 Adapter Board.


Connect the Other End of the Ribbon Cable to the Beagleboard XM.
Be sure to align the ribbon cable correctly. Pin 1 on the Beagleboard XM is the pin closest to the center of the board. 

Plug in the Serial Cable.
Connect the Flyswatter2 and the Beagleboard XM with the RS-232 serial cable.
