18.1. Flash Programming Commands
The Flash memory can be programmed directly over the JTAG interface using the Flash Control, Flash
Data, Flash Address, and Flash Scale registers. These Indirect Data Registers are accessed via the JTAG
Instruction Register. Read and write operations on indirect data registers are performed by first setting the
appropriate DR address in the IR register. Each read or write is then initiated by writing the appropriate
Indirect Operation Code (IndOpCode) to the selected data register. Incoming commands to this register
have the following format:
19:18
IndOpCode
17:0
WriteData
IndOpCode: These bit set the operation to perform according to the following table:
IndOpCode

Operation
Poll
Read
Write
The Poll operation is used to check the Busy bit as described below. Although a Capture-DR is performed,
no Update-DR is allowed for the Poll operation. Since updates are disabled, polling can be accomplished
by shifting in/out a single bit.
The Read operation initiates a read from the register addressed by the DRAddress. Reads can be initiated
by shifting only 2 bits into the indirect register. After the read operation is initiated, polling of the Busy bit
must be performed to determine when the operation is complete.
The write operation initiates a write of WriteData to the register addressed by DRAddress. Registers of
any width up to 18 bits can be written. If the register to be written contains fewer than 18 bits, the data in
WriteData should be left-justified, i.e. its MSB should occupy bit 17 above. This allows shorter registers to
be written in fewer JTAG clock cycles. For example, an 8-bit register could be written by shifting only 10
bits. After a Write is initiated, the Busy bit should be polled to determine when the next operation can be
initiated. The contents of the Instruction Register should not be altered while either a read or write opera-
tion is in progress.
Outgoing data from the indirect Data Register has the following format:
19
18:5
0
0
ReadData
Busy
The Busy bit indicates that the current operation is not complete. It goes high when an operation is initi-
ated and returns low when complete. Read and Write commands are ignored while Busy is high. In fact, if
polling for Busy to be low will be followed by another read or write operation, JTAG writes of the next oper-
ation can be made while checking for Busy to be low. They will be ignored until Busy is read low, at which
time the new operation will initiate. This bit is placed at bit 0 to allow polling by single-bit shifts. When wait-
ing for a Read to complete and Busy is 0, the following 18 bits can be shifted out to obtain the resulting
data. ReadData is always right-justified. This allows registers shorter than 18 bits to be read using a
reduced number of shifts. For example, the result from a byte-read requires 9 bit shifts (Busy + 8 bits).
