For ICE devices, an ICE header board is required. The header board contains the hardware that is necessary to emulate a specific device or family of devices. For more information on ICE headers, see the “Processor Extension Pak and Header Specification” (DS50001292).
A transition socket is used with the ICE header to connect the header to the target board. Transition sockets are available in various styles to allow a common header to be connected to one of the supported surface mount package styles. For more information on transition sockets, see the “Transition Socket Specification” (DS50001194).
Header board layout will be different for headers or processor extension paks. For connection information, see Debugger to Target Communication.
