Hello!
I skimmed over the schematic and noticed that the power output from the FTDI cable is connected directly to the 3.3V line. In my experience the output from the FTDI cable is 5V even though it is the 3.3V version. I have actually fried some designs due to this.
I'm not 100% sure about this, but my tips is to check it before you connect it.
Best regards, /Stefan

thanks a lot for pointing this out!
I recommend cutting the voltage wire of the 6pin FTDI connector before plugging the cable into the simtrace.

added the information to the wiki and usermanual:

This pin will not be connected in v1.1. I will also write a ticket for it. Thanks for the warning.
