The ARM SWD interface is s subset of the JTAG interface, making use of TCK and TMS pins, which means that when connecting to an SWD device, the 10-pin JTAG connector can technically be used. The ARM JTAG and AVR JTAG connectors are however not pin-compatible, so this depends upon the layout of the target board in use. When using STK600 or a board making use of the AVR JTAG pinout, the standard JTAG connector can be used. When connecting to a board which makes use of the ARM JTAG pinout, the 10-pin "mini-squid" cable must be used. (There are no adapters available from Atmel to make this mapping.)
