The J-Link 9-pin Cortex-M Adapter allows JTAG, SWD and SWO connections between J-Link and Cortex-M based target hardware systems. It adapts from the 20-pin  0.1´´ JTAG connector to a 9-pin 0.05´´ Samtec FTSH connector as defined by ARM.

The J-Link 9-pin Cortex-M Adapter may also be used to connect J-Link to a non Cortex-M target as far as the target connector uses the same pinout.

By default, TRST is not connected, but the Cortex-M Adapter comes with a solder bridge (NR1) which allows TRST to be connected to pin 9 of the Cortex-M adapter.
