JTAG connection

Started by C R Patil March 9, 2000

HI All!!!!!

There are 3 SHARC 21062 processors in a single board, all in the master
mode. How the JTAG port of these 3 SHARCs are to be brought out? Can these
3 SHARCs (All in master mode) be connected in DAISY chain mode and hence
connected to only one JTAG or 3 JTAGs for 3 SHARCS are required? Any
suggestions.......

Regards
patil

You can cable it either way. Daisy-chaining them is probably easier as
it requires only one connector and makes debugging somewhat easier.
(Only one debugger instance instead of 3.) Note that the JTAG ID of
each CPU need not be the same as the CPU ID. The JTAG ID is governed by
the order of the daisy chaining. The CPU ID is governed by the ID pins.
