TMS320C6748 LCDK probing pins on expansion header

Hi, 

How do i access the pins on J15 expansion header?  I'm trying to probe pin 6 as GPIO. I've written code to write a '1' or a '0' to this pin periodically. However i'm unable to probe the pin slot directly on the expansion headers as they are too tiny. Do we need separate breakout board to access pins on J15? 

Thanks,

Smita
