On circuit diagrams, plugs are displayed as viewed from the back side, the solder side. Chips are displayed as viewed from above; also, see the small semicircular cut for finding the correct orientation. When in doubt, see the corresponding description on the legend page.
You need the following parts to build this cable:
Two solderable user port plugs
A shielded 10-wire or unshielded 11-wire cable of, preferably, at most 2 meters
Solder both ends of the cable onto the user port plugs. You should have the following connections:
| User port plug | User port plug | 
|---|---|
| C, PB0 | C, PB0 | 
| D, PB1 | D, PB1 | 
| E, PB2 | E, PB2 | 
| F, PB3 | F, PB3 | 
| H, PB4 | H, PB4 | 
| J, PB5 | J, PB5 | 
| K, PB6 | K, PB6 | 
| L, PB7 | L, PB7 | 
| 8, PC2 | B, FLAG2 | 
| B, FLAG2 | 8, PC2 | 
| A, GND | A, GND | 
Note that pins 8 (PC2) and B (FLAG2) are swapped at either end.
