27.2 Overview

The AVR IEEE std. 1149.1 compliant JTAG interface can be used for

•

Testing PCBs by using the JTAG Boundary-scan capability

•

Programming the non-volatile memories, Fuses and Lock bits

•

On-chip debugging

A brief description is given in the following sections. Detailed descriptions for Programming via the JTAG interface,

and using the Boundary-scan Chain can be found in the sections “Programming via the JTAG Interface” on page

342 and “IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) Boundary-scan” on page 295, respectively. The On-chip Debug support is consid-

ered being private JTAG instructions, and distributed within Microchip and to selected third party vendors only.

Figure 27-1 on page 290 shows a block diagram of the JTAG interface and the On-chip Debug system. The TAP

Controller is a state machine controlled by the TCK and TMS signals. The TAP Controller selects either the JTAG

Instruction Register or one of several Data Registers as the scan chain (Shift Register) between the TDI – input

and TDO – output. The Instruction Register holds JTAG instructions controlling the behavior of a Data Register.

The ID-Register, Bypass Register, and the Boundary-scan Chain are the Data Registers used for board-level test-

ing. The JTAG Programming Interface (actually consisting of several physical and virtual Data Registers) is used

for serial programming via the JTAG interface. The Internal Scan Chain and Break Point Scan Chain are used for

On-chip debugging only.
