Abstract
This invention relates to automatically establishing a connection between a testing and/or debugging interface to an integrated circuit and a connector of an apparatus, the connector being connectable to a testing and/or debugging apparatus configured to communicate with the testing and/or debugging interface via the connector in a testing and/or debugging mode of the apparatus and connectable to an accessory apparatus to be used in a normal operation mode of the apparatus, if the testing and/or debugging apparatus is connected to the connector, thereby establishing the testing and/or debugging mode of the apparatus.
