In such way, we can<br>have the standard JTAG interface core part and separation from<br>specific HW implementation.<br>This allow new capability to debug the CPU or program system's <br>device via BMC without additional devices nor cost.
This patch purpose is to add JTAG master core infrastructure by <br>defining new JTAG class and provide generic JTAG interface<br>to allow hardware specific drivers to connect this interface.<br>This will enable all JTAG drivers to use the common interface<br>part and will have separate for hardware implementation.
The JTAG (Joint Test Action Group) core driver provides minimal generic<br>JTAG interface, which can be used by hardware specific JTAG master<br>controllers. By providing common interface for the JTAG controllers,<br>user space device programing is hardware independent.<br> <br>Modern SoC which in use for embedded system' equipped with<br>internal JTAG master interface.<br>This interface is used for programming and debugging system's<br>hardware components, like CPLD, FPGA, CPU, voltage and<br>industrial controllers.<br>Firmware for such devices can be upgraded through JTAG interface during<br>Runtime. The JTAG standard support for multiple devices programming,<br>is in case their lines are daisy-chained together.
For example, systems which equipped with host CPU, BMC SoC or/and <br>number of programmable devices are capable to connect a pin and<br>select system components dynamically for programming and debugging,<br>This is using by the BMC which is equipped with internal SoC master<br>controller.<br>For example:
BMC JTAG master --> pin selected to CPLDs chain for programming (filed<br>upgrade, production) <br>BMC JTAG master --> pin selected to voltage monitors for programming <br>(field upgrade, production) <br>BMC JTAG master --> pin selected to host CPU (on-site debugging <br>and developers debugging)
For example, we can have application in user space which using calls<br>to JTAG driver executes CPLD programming directly from SVF file<br> <br>The JTAG standard (IEEE 1149.1) defines the next connector pins:<br>- TDI (Test Data In);<br>- TDO (Test Data Out);<br>- TCK (Test Clock);<br>- TMS (Test Mode Select);<br>- TRST (Test Reset) (Optional);
The SoC equipped with JTAG master controller, performs<br>device programming on command or vector level. For example<br>a file in a standard SVF (Serial Vector Format) that contains<br>boundary scan vectors, can be used by sending each vector<br>to the JTAG interface and the JTAG controller will execute<br>the programming.
Initial version provides the system calls set for:<br>- SIR (Scan Instruction Register, IEEE 1149.1 Instruction Register scan);<br>- SDR (Scan Data Register, IEEE 1149.1 Data Register scan);<br>- RUNTEST (Forces the IEEE 1149.1 bus to a run state for a specified<br> number of clocks.
SoC which are not equipped with JTAG master interface, can be built<br>on top of JTAG core driver infrastructure, by applying bit-banging of<br>TDI, TDO, TCK and TMS pins within the hardware specific driver.
