Hi Paolo,
It's a standard MiniJTAG port (Cortex Debug Port to be exact).
You can debug using the STLink/V2 and TI MDL-ADA2 JTAG to MiniJTAG adapter. $41.25 for the set, which is ridiculously inexpensive.
We use these instead of our $2000+ ARM RVICE hardware. It works beautifully and supports quite a few breakpoints. We debug C# code, step into native code (alt+tab) and back and forth. It's pretty awesome.
And for those who want a really really nice Cortex-M4F devboard for C/C++ code...Netduino Plus 2 does that really well too. Arduino shield compatibility is a big bonus there too.

Hi Chris,
All purchased and on my desk. However, there is a teensy problem. The mini JTAG cable Mouser sent us with the TI MDL-ADA2 JTAG to MiniJTAG adapter is female-to-female, but the mini-JTAG connection on the Netduino Plus 2 requires pins on the connector. Are your mini-JTAG connectors male-to-female, or are you doing something else you didn't mention in your post? Two possibilities:
- You bought a male-to-male mini-JTAG adapter.
- If the orientation of the pins works, you removed the RESET button from the mini-JTAG adapter and pushed its pins through the board with no cable.
Thanks!
Howie
