Internal JTAG

New to P1687? IEEE P1687/IJTAG - The scope of this standard is to develop a methodology for access to embedded test and debug features via the IEEE 1149.1 Test Access Port (TAP). IEEE P1687 is sometimes referred to as IJTAG, or Internal JTAG however 1149.1 has always had internal TDRs part of the standard. The official website is here P1687 Website although it is somewhat outdated. These embedded test and debug features are referred to as 'instruments'. The purpose of the instruments is not just for on-chip test but also the on-chip instruments can facilitate board and system level test. A short list of example instruments would be: on-chip process monitors, temperature monitors, PLLBIST, Memory BIST and SERDES BIST. In the last year, the working group has made significant progress in deciding on key languages and hardware architectures. See Intellitech's presentation to the WG in 2008 - Intellitech IJTAG.

This paper was presented at NATW: IJTAG Basics. Much of the language syntax of ICL (Instrument Connectivity Language) has changed as of 2011.

P1687 proposes to use PDL (with somewhat less features than 1149.1-2013) and ICL (instead of BSDL). An example ICL is as follows:

Module (block1) {

  Ports {

     si1 { Function: ScanIn;        }

     so1 { Function: ScanOut;

           Source:   TDR1[0];       }

     en1 { Function: Select;        }

     se  { Function: ShiftEn;       }

     ce  { Function: CaptureEn;     }

     ue  { Function: UpdateEn;      }

     tck { Function: TCK;           }

  }

  ShiftRegisters {

    TDR1[63:0] {

      CaptureSource : 32'b0,RX_M;

    }

  }

  Alias RE = TDR1[63] { iApplyEndState 1’b0; }

   

 DataRegisters {

    R0[31:0]    { WriteEnSource   : R0_W

                  WriteDataSource : TDR1[31:0];  }

    R1[31:0]    { WriteEnSource   : R1_W;

                  WriteDataSource : TDR1[31:0];  }

    R2[31:0]    { WriteEnSource   : R2_W;

                  WriteDataSource : TDR1[31:0];  }

   

    R0_0[7:0]  { WriteEnSource   : R0_0_W;

                 WriteDataSource : R0[7:0];  }

    R0_1[7:0]  { WriteEnSource   : R0_1_W;

                 WriteDataSource : R0[7:0];  }

    R0_2[7:0]  { WriteEnSource   : R0_2_W;

                 WriteDataSource : R0[7:0];  }

    R1_0[7:0]  { WriteEnSource   : R1_0_W;

                 WriteDataSource : R0[7:0];  }

  

  }

  

 LogicSignals {

    R0_W    : Select { TDR1[63:62],TDR1[61:32] == 32'b10000000000000000000000000000000; }

    R1_W    : Select { TDR1[63:62],TDR1[61:32] == 32'b10000000000000000000000000000001; }

    R2_W    : Select { TDR1[63:62],TDR1[61:32] == 32'b10000000000000000000000000000010; }

    RX_M[31:0] : Case TDR1[63:62],TDR1[5:0] {

       8'b01000000 : 24’b0,R0_X_M[7:0];

       8'b01000001 : 24’b0,R1_X_M[7:0];

       8'b01000010 : 24’b0,R2_X_M[7:0];

    }

    R0_0_W : Select {R0[31:30],R0[29:24] == 8'b10000000; }

    R0_0_W : Select {R0[31:30],R0[29:24] == 8'b10000001; }

    R0_0_W : Select {R0[31:30],R0[29:24] == 8'b10000010; }

    R0_X_M[31:0] : Case R0[31:30],R0[29:24] {

       8'b01000000 : R0_0[7:0];

       8'b01000001 : R0_1[7:0];

       8'b01000010 : R0_2[7:0];

    }

  }

}
