Header Signal NameDescription
SWDCLKSerial wire clock pin
SWDIOSerial wire bidirectional data pin
RESETTarget device reset pin, active low
VCCTarget voltage sense, must be connected to the device VDD
GNDGround
GND*These pins are reserved for firmware extension purposes. They can be left unconnected or connected to GND in a typical debug environment. They are not essential for SWD in general.
