Jtag/Ejtag
| Reference | {{:mywiki:jtag_training.pdf|}} | [[Jtag Scripts]] |

The JTAG interface, collectively known as a **Test Access Port(TAP)**, uses the following signals to support the operation of boundary scan.
| TCK | Test Clock | this signal synchronizes the internal state machine operations. |
| TMS | Test Mode Select | controls the TAP controller state transitions |
| TDI | Test Data In | serial data from debugger to target |
| TDO | Test Data Out | serial data from target to debugger |
| TRST | Test Reset | optional, resets the TAP controller |
The functionality usually offered by JTAG is Debug Access and Boundary Scan:
  - Sebug Access is used by debugger tools to access the internals of a chip making its resources and functionality available and modifiable, e.g. registers, memories and the system state.
  - Boundary Scan is used by hardware test tools to test the physical connection of a device, e.g. on a PCB. Although this is usually not the task of a debugger tool the TRACE32 debugger offers mechanisms to access the JTAG TAP in a generic way, e.g. to perform boundary scan using a PRACTICE script or a custom application.

Registers
| IR | Instruction Register |
| DR | Data Registers |

The width of the IR is not specified by the JTAG standard but needs to be the same for all instructions of a 
specific device. Since the DR is selected according to the loaded instruction the DR width is variable.
