JTAG scan when multiple devices are connected in chain
JTAG Chain scan functionality enables you define IR/DR Prefix/Postfix values
which could be entered in Hardware / CPU Options / JTAG. That is
important when several devices are connected in a chain and you want to debug
for example the second one.
Possible solution:
From winIDEA build 9.21.9 and newer:
1. Enable EVE scripting (number 27) via Help / Support / Log.
2. Select proper CPU via Debug / Configure Session / SoCs.
3. For the debug interface select JTAG in Hardware / CPU Options / SoC / Debug Protocol section.
4. From the main menu select Debug / Prepare to Attach. winIDEA displays SoC DETACHED in the status bar.
5. Open Hardware / Tools / Execute EVE Script and select JTAGSelect.cpp script which is located in the winIDEA SFR subfolder.
6. Press the Run button.
7. After a few seconds result of the scan is shown in the Progress window.
If non-cortex device is present in a chain (TriCore) and you want to find IR/DR Postfix/Prefix values for that device, then the proper procedure is to first save workspace, change CPU type to a Cortex device as already explained, select JTAG debug interface, run the script and when you get the values, load workspace which you saved and use obtained JTAG scan values.
