• Programming of Flash, EEPROM, Fuses, and Lock Bits through the JTAG Interface
• On-chip Debugging Supported by AVR Studio^®
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 Program-
ming via the JTAG interface, and using the Boundary-scan Chain can be found in the
sections “Programming via the JTAG Interface” on page 274 and “IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG)
Boundary-scan” on page 225, respectively. The On-chip Debug support is considered
being private JTAG instructions, and distributed within ATMEL and to selected third
party vendors only.
Figure 112 shows a block diagram of the JTAG interface and the On-chip Debug sys-
tem. 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 Reg-
isters 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 testing. The JTAG Programming Interface (actually consisting of
several physical and virtual Data Registers) is used for JTAG Serial Programming via
the JTAG interface. The Internal Scan Chain and Break Point Scan Chain are used for
On-chip Debugging only.
The JTAG interface is accessed through four of the AVR’s pins. In JTAG terminology,
these pins constitute the Test Access Port – TAP. These pins are:
• TMS: Test Mode Select. This pin is used for navigating through the TAP-controller
state machine.
• TCK: Test Clock. JTAG operation is synchronous to TCK.
• TDI: Test Data In. Serial input data to be shifted in to the Instruction Register or Data
Register (Scan Chains).
• TDO: Test Data Out. Serial output data from Instruction Register or Data Register.
