Connect one end of the 20-pin end ribbon cable to the Flyswatter2's JTAG interface.


Connect the 20-pin Ribbon Cable to the ARM20CTI20 Adapter Board.

Connect the other end of the 20 pin ribbon cable into the ARM20CTI20 adapter. Your cable most likely has a raised nub on the head to force it into the correct position which matches a notch on the adapter. If it doesn't, align Pin 1 on the ribbon cable (marked with a red stripe) with the pin marked as 1 on the adapter.


Connect the 20-pin ARM20CTI20 adapter to to BeagleBone.
