To connect the C8051F500 Development Kit to your PC for debugging, follow these steps:
1. Connect the USB Debug Adapter to one of the DEBUG connectors on the target board (DEBUG_A or DEBUG_B) using the 10-pin ribbon cable. It is recommended to connect to DEBUG_A as it has more peripherals available.
2. Connect one end of the USB cable to the USB connector on the USB Debug Adapter.
3. Connect the other end of the USB cable to a USB port on your PC.
4. Connect the AC/DC power adapter to power jack P4 on the target board.
Note: Use the Reset button in the IDE to reset the target when connected using a USB Debug Adapter. Also, make sure to remove power from the target board and the USB Debug Adapter before connecting or disconnecting the ribbon cable from the target board. Connecting or disconnecting the cable when the devices have power can cause damage.
