Installing JTAG Test

Installation files can be downloaded from http://www.jtagtest.com/download. We recommend installing ViaTAP JTAG Interface drivers before running JTAG Test. Drivers can be downloaded separately. Installation is very simple and every skilled computer user should be able to perform it without any problems if following the on-screen instructions.

Installing JTAGTest on Linux

JTAGTest can run on Linux using Wine. Download setup package, run it using wine (wine JTAGTestSetup.exe). After successful installation JTAGTest menu item should appear in Applications menu. The following image displays Ubuntu 8.10 distribution:

After launching the application main window should appear. This window may have slightly different appearance compared to JTAGTest running on Microsoft Windows. This is caused by several bugs in Wine.

Page 4 of 29

JTAGTest User Manual

If the application does not recognize correctly JTAG-USB ViaTAP interface, please consult ViaTAP hardware manual for information on how to fix the permissions for ViaTAP USB device /dev entries.

Installing BSDL Library files

JTAGTest needs the BSDL files in order to know how to handle JTAG ICs connected to the chain. These BSDL files should be installed in directory C:\BSDL so that the JTAG Test can recognize them automatically.

We provide BSDL library for most of the common ICs used nowadays. This self-extractable bundle can be downloaded from http://www.jtagtest.com/download.

What are BSDL files?

BSDL Files contain information about JTAG integrated circuits. The following information is usually present: Page 5 of 29

JTAGTest User Manual IC name Package (TQFP100, CS48, etc) JTAG bus speed Port mapping Boundary scan cells description

BSDL File(s) can be automatically assigned to a part present in JTAG chain based on IDCODE. IDCODE is a unique 32bit number assigned to each part (or die). Please note that IDCODE does not specify package, voltage, temperature or speed grade. If different BSDL files are present for one part IDCODE, you will need to select suitable variant manually.

Page 6 of 29

JTAGTest User Manual

Using JTAGTest
You can run JTAG Test from Start menu or by executing the JTAGTest.exe file from program's directory.

BSDL Library scan

When JTAG Test is started, automatic BSDL library scan is performed. At the first-time run each BSDL file has to be completely parsed. Depending on your BSDL library size, this operation may take up to several minutes. Next time you run JTAGTest, only modified or added files are scanned whilst other files are just compared against BSDL cache database, this resulting in faster start-up times.

JTAG Test main window should appear shortly:

If the ViaTAP JTAG Interface is connected, tested board is powered up and JTAG chain is setup correctly, icon list of present devices should appear. You can click on the device to select it and then perform intended actions on the selected device.

Page 7 of 29

JTAGTest User Manual JTAG chain can be re-scanned anytime by clicking on Re-scan chain button. This re-scan operation cause loosing of any changes you have made to the chain. Some buttons require properly set-up chain (i.e. selected BSDL models/files). They are inactive unless all requirements are met.

Assigning BSDL file for each device

Although JTAG chain scan is able to automatically detect each device in the chain, not all information is provided by integrated circuits. You need to select appropriate BSDL file (model) for your device manually from the list box shown on the right hand side. Only the BSDL files that match IDCODE of your part are shown. If you part does not provide IDCODE (which would be unlikely), you need to load BSDL file manually.

Loading additional BSDL files

If you part does not provide IDCODE (which would be unlikely) or BSDL file is not present in global BSDL files library, you need to load BSDL file manually. Select other from BSDL model selection list. JTAGTest will then allow you to load additional BSDL files. User-added BSDL files are marked with asterisk (*) and are at the top of the BSDL selection list. User-added BSDL files are loaded to all devices present in the current chain.

JTAGTest User Manual

Setting JTAG Options

JTAG Options can be changed using Options >> JTAG Options menu. JTAG Speed defines boundary scan TCK speed in kHz. Incorrect settings may result in data corruption, incorrect chain detection, etc. Please note that many devices use internal oscillator in unconfigured state (i.e. blank ARM7 microprocessor) which requires slow JTAG communication. User BSDL Library is a directory containing user's BSDL files. To change to this option you will be required restart JTAG Test application in order to reload BSDL libraries.

Running SVF/XSVF/JAM/STAPL Files

JTAG Test is capable of running SVF Files (Serial Vector Format), XSVF (Xilinx Serial Vector Format), JAM/STAPL (Standard Test and Programming Language). (X)SVF Files usually contain BCB test vectors or programming sequences. Almost all CPLD or Non-Volatile FPGAs can be configured using SVF Files. Volatile FPGAs (such as Xilinx Spartan or Altera Cyclone) can be configured from SVF Files. The JTAGTest reads a JAM/STAPL file and executes all routines defines in the JAM file, applying vectors for programming and testing devices in a JTAG chain. The Jam STAPL Jam (Standard Test and Programming Language) was adopted as JEDEC standard JESD-71 in August, 1999. SVF File describes series of JTAG chain operations. For more information about SVF Files please see our website, www.jtagtest.com. Some of the producers of SVF Files are for instance:

Xilinx ISE (Xilinx iMPACT) Altera Quartus Programmer Actel Libero IDE Lattice Semiconductor ispLEVER Cypress ISR Atmel .jed to SVF converter

SVF File is executed by clicking on Run SVF from JTAG Test main screen.

Lattice Extended Serial Vector Format (.SVF) File

JTAGTest supports Lattice Extended Serial Vector Format (.SVF) File. Lattice ispVM produces files which do not comply with the SVF Standard as they contain the LOOP and ENDLOOP statements, which do not comply with the SVF standard. The JTAGTest SVF processor will process and repeat the statements in-between the LOOP statement and the ENDLOOP statement loop_count number of times. Syntax:
LOOP loop_count; ENDLOOP;

Example:
LOOP 85 ; SIR 8 TDI IDLE TDI TDO ENDLOOP ; (52); 10 TCK (0) (1); 1.00E+000 SEC;

RUNTEST SDR 1

Standard Test and Programming (STAPL) Player

If you select a JEDEC Standard Test and Programming file (STAPL/JAM/STP), STAPL (JAM) Runner window appears. To run a STAPL action, select it from the action list and click on Run button. Logging for debugging purposes is provided. If you enter a file name into Logging box, all operations will be logged.

Boundary Scan
Boundary Scan function is available after you have selected a part in JTAG chain (by selecting IC's icon), BSDL file for the selected part is available and correct package BSDL model is selected. When you click on Boundary scan button the following window appears:

Top area of this window displays the part information, and the test options. Main area contains list of available pins/ports. In order to perform single-shot scan, click on Perform scan button. To view ports state in real time, click on Realtime scan button. Please note, in single-shot mode (Perform scan button), you always see state of pins BEFORE performing the boundary scan operation. The pin states are captured before scan operation (on capture-DR state) and updated after shifting all data in and out (update-DR state).

Page 20 of 29

JTAGTest User Manual

Boundary scan test mode selection

JTAG defines various test modes. Before you start realtime or single-shot scan, you need to choose scan mode (if unsure, always use SAMPLE): EXTEST The required EXTEST instruction places the IC into an external boundary-test mode and selects the boundary-scan register to be connected between TDI and TDO. During this instruction, the boundary-scan register is accessed to drive test data off-chip via the boundary outputs and receive test data off-chip via the boundary inputs. INTEST The optional INTEST instruction places the IC in an internal boundary-test mode and selects the boundary-scan register to be connected between TDI and TDO. During this instruction, the boundary-scan register is accessed to drive test data on-chip via the boundary inputs and receive test data on-chip via the boundary outputs. SAMPLE The required SAMPLE/PRELOAD instruction allows the IC to remain in its functional mode and selects the boundary-scan register to be connected between TDI and TDO. During this instruction, the boundary-scan register can be accessed via a data scan operation, to take a sample of the functional data entering and leaving the IC.

Page 21 of 29

JTAGTest User Manual

Package (chip) View

By clicking on View Package>> button in main Boundary Scan window you can display a window showing the physical package layout with corresponding labels. All common package types are supported (i.e. TQFP, PLCC, SOIC, TSSOP, QFN/CS/MLF, ...), however some are not. Example of unsupported package is BARE_DIE or various nonsquare special or custom packages. When in Realtime scan mode, all pins are dynamically colored according to their state (linkage or unused pins are shown in black). This function is very useful if you are measuring on a printed circuit board, because it enables you to clearly see the state of each pin.

Pin map file assignment

Port names as specified in BSDL files are sometimes meaningless, making debugging complicated. JTAGTest provides the function to load user pin names or net names in order to allow easier debugging/testing. JTAGTest is capable to read pin maps from various third-party EDA tools such as:

Xilinx ISE UCF Altera .PIN Lattice .LCT

Import script for Cadsoft Eagle CAD is also provided (available on our website). When you load pin map file for your design, user pin/net names appear in the third column and chip Page 22 of 29

JTAGTest User Manual view window if displayed. User pin names are also used for waveform recoding function.

Package mappings
JTAGTest will assign package layout based on PHYSICAL_PIN_MAP attribute. If the attribute is set to some generic layout name (e.g. DIE), JTAGTest has no way how to assign correct package. In such case, please modify the BSD file: entity RINGO_DEVICE is generic (PHYSICAL_PIN_MAP : string := "RINGO"); Example of change: entity RINGO_DEVICE is generic (PHYSICAL_PIN_MAP : string := "BGA400");

Waveform recording / viewing

JTAGTest allows you to record signal waveform during realtime scan. You must select what signals are to be recorded by clicking on the 4 th column in pin list and by choosing the signal color. Up to 64 signals can be watched at once.

After you selected all desired signals, check the Record waveform at the top of the boundary scan window and click on Real-time scan. When you stop the scan, the View waveform button becomes functional and allows you to display another window with captured waveform:

JTAG IR/DR Scan

This function can be used to manually perform JTAG TAP IR/DR scans. When you click on JTAG IR/DR Scan button in main JTAGTest window, the following window will appear:

Caution: Use this function very carefully as incorrect usage may destroy your target device! This function does not check entered values as BSDL files do not provide any information regarding instructions/registers logic! Scan data within IR/DR TDI and TDO boxes is expressed as hexadecimal. The scan data cannot specify a data string that is larger than the specified bit length. Most Significant Bit (MSB) zeroes in the hex string are not considered when determining if the string is too large. The bit order for scan data follows the convention that the least significant bit (rightmost bit) is the first bit scanned into the hardware for TDI scan data and is the first bit scanned out for TDO data. This bit ordering is consistent with the IEEE 1149.1 convention. Digits can be grouped by 8 bits (i.e. 00 01 02 03 04 is the same as 0 1 2 3 4 or 01 02 03 04 or 1 02 3 04).

IEEE 1149.1 JTAG chain configuration group

This part of scan dialog defines the chain structure. When this function is selected, it contains correct values for the selected device, however you may freely modify these values.

Page 25 of 29

JTAGTest User Manual

TCK Control
This function is used to issue TCK clocks in defined state (usually used for flash programming or other operations that require external JTAG clocking).

IR Scan
This function performs IR scan operation on JTAG chain. TDI input allows selection from list of opcodes defined in BSDL file (if BSDL file is assigned to the device). You may choose from list, enter instruction name (i.e. IDCODE) or enter hexadecimal representation of the instruction (i.e. 01 0B). DR Length must be always adjusted after performing IR scan.

DR Scan
This function performs DR scan operation on JTAG chain. You must enter hexadecimal representation of the data register (i.e. 01 23 45 67). If you do not enter any value, all zero bits will be shifted to DR.

Test Reset
This function will put JTAG TAPs into TEST_RESET state.

JTAG IR/DR Scan example: Reading out Xilinx Spartan-3A DNA

Every Spartan-3A device contains unique 56-bit DNA value. Device DNA can be used to provide a serial number for your own products, it can be useful in hardware and software design security techniques or it can be used as part of product registration procedures. This chapter provides details of the reference design which reads out Spartan-3A DNA via JTAG, using JTAGTest. First create the following Verilog module and configure it as a top module in your Spartan-3A Xilinx ISE design:
module dna_jtagtest_reader(O1); output O1; assign O1 = 1; wire wire wire wire wire wire wire wire wire wire wire CAPTURE; DRCK1; DRCK2; RESET; SEL1; SEL2; SHIFT; TDI; UPDATE; TDO1; TDO2; 1-bit 1-bit 1-bit 1-bit 1-bit DNA output data clock input user data input pin input, active high load DNA, active low read input, active high shift enable

DNA_PORT DNA_PORT_inst ( .DOUT(TDO1), // .CLK(DRCK1), // .DIN(TDI), // .READ(CAPTURE), // .SHIFT(SHIFT) // );

BSCAN_SPARTAN3A BSCAN_SPARTAN3A_inst ( .CAPTURE(CAPTURE), // CAPTURE output from TAP controller .DRCK1(DRCK1), // Data register output for USER1 functions .DRCK2(DRCK2), // Data register output for USER2 functions .RESET(RESET), // Reset output from TAP controller .SEL1(SEL1), // USER1 active output .SEL2(SEL2), // USER2 active output .SHIFT(SHIFT), // SHIFT output from TAP controller .TDI(TDI), // TDI output from TAP controller .UPDATE(UPDATE), // UPDATE output from TAP controller .TDO1(TDO1), // Data input for USER1 function .TDO2(TDO2) // Data input for USER2 function ); endmodule

Configure the target Spartan-3A device, run JTAGTest, assign BSDL file to the device and run JTAG IR/DR Scan and configure active device:

Then run IR Scan with USER1 instruction: Page 27 of 29

JTAG IR/DR Scan example: Debugging Lattice MachXO design

You can easily debug FPGA design using user JTAG scan. In Lattice MachXO devices user JTAG is implemented using JTAGD library element. In this example, we will create 61-bit counter which will be incremented each clock period (using internal oscillator). This counter will be accessible through JTAG port using IPA scan register. OSCC is a dedicated oscillator in the MachXO device and the source of the internal clock for configuration. The oscillator frequency range is 18 to 26 MHz. The Verilog source can be easily modified to work with other devices, e.g. LatticeSC/M (JTAGA), LatticeECP/EC (JTAGA), LatticeXP (JTAGB), LatticeECP2/M (JTAGC), LatticeXP2 (JTAGE). Xilinx Spartan-3A uses BSCAN_SPARTAN3A.
module test; reg [60:0]counter; reg [60:0]countersample; wire clk; // Counter // Captured counter for JTAG scan

// Internal oscillator, running 18-26 MHz OSCC OScInst (.OSC(clk)); // Increment counter always @(posedge clk) begin counter = counter + 1; end // JTAG Signals wire JTCK; wire JUPDATE; wire JSHIFT; // JTAGD port instance JTAGD JTAGInst ( .JTCK(JTCK), .JTDO1(countersample[0]), // IPA JTAG bit .JUPDATE(JUPDATE), .JSHIFT(JSHIFT) ); // Main JTAG task, implementing IPA JTAG register always @(posedge JTCK) begin if (JSHIFT) begin countersample[59:0] <= countersample[60:1]; end else begin countersample <= counter; end end endmodule

Program the FPGA with the above top module and run IR/DR Scan from JTAGTest main menu. Perform IPA IR scan, set length of DR to 61 bits and click on DR Scan. TDO should show current counter value. When you click again on the DR Scan button, TDO should show higher value (counter increments).
