Adafruit SWD Breakout Board [ADA2743] - 2x5 1.27mm Pitch For JTAG/SWD Debugging ARM Cortex Boards

About This Product

Okay, for all you electronics enthusiasts and embedded developers working with ARM Cortex boards, this Adafruit SWD Breakout Board is about to become your new best friend. Here's the deal: a lot of those tiny ARM dev boards (we're talking Cortex M0, M3, and similar) use these super slim 2x5 connectors with a tiny 1.27mm pitch for programming and debugging. The problem? It can be really tricky to connect your standard JTAG/SWD debuggers like ST-Link, SEGGER J-Link, or JTAGulator to those tiny ports. That's exactly where this little adapter comes in! It breaks out those cramped 0.05-inch/1.27mm pitch connections to something much more workable. The board itself comes with some header if you need it, but just to be clear - it doesn't include any cables, so you'll need to source those separately based on what debugger you're using. But once you have this in your toolkit, connecting to those frustratingly small programming ports becomes an absolute breeze. It's compatible with all the popular ARM debugging tools and makes prototyping and debugging so much less of a headache. If you've ever found yourself struggling to connect probes to those miniature boards or damaging connectors in the process, this simple breakout board is totally worth its weight in gold. It's one of those 'why didn't I get this sooner?' tools for anyone serious about embedded systems development.
