considered. In addition, because the JTAG module has integrated ARM Serial Wire Debug, the
method for switching between these two operational modes is described below.
GPIO Functionality
When the controller is reset with either a POR or RST, the JTAG/SWD port pins default to their
JTAG/SWD configurations. The default configuration includes enabling digital functionality (setting
GPIODEN to 1), enabling the pull-up resistors (setting GPIOPUR to 1), and enabling the alternate
hardware function (setting GPIOAFSEL to 1) for the PB7 and PC[3:0] JTAG/SWD pins.
It is possible for software to configure these pins as GPIOs after reset by writing 0s to PB7 and
PC[3:0] in the GPIOAFSEL register. If the user does not require the JTAG/SWD port for debugging
or board-level testing, this provides five more GPIOs for use in the design.
Caution – It is possible to create a software sequence that prevents the debugger from connecting to
the Stellaris microcontroller. If the program code loaded into flash immediately changes the JTAG pins
to their GPIO functionality, the debugger may not have enough time to connect and halt the controller
before the JTAG pin functionality switches. This may lock the debugger out of the part. This can be
avoided with a software routine that restores JTAG functionality based on an external or software
trigger.
The GPIO commit control registers provide a layer of protection against accidental programming of
critical hardware peripherals. Protection is currently provided for the five JTAG/SWD pins (PB7 and
PC[3:0]). Writes to protected bits of the GPIO Alternate Function Select (GPIOAFSEL) register
(see page 303) are not committed to storage unless the GPIO Lock (GPIOLOCK) register (see
page 313) has been unlocked and the appropriate bits of the GPIO Commit (GPIOCR) register (see
page 314) have been set to 1.
Recovering a "Locked" Device
Note:
The mass erase of the flash memory caused by the below sequence erases the entire flash
memory, regardless of the settings in the Flash Memory Protection Program Enable n
(FMPPEn) registers. Performing the sequence below does not affect the nonvolatile registers
discussed in “Nonvolatile Register Programming” on page 260.
If software configures any of the JTAG/SWD pins as GPIO and loses the ability to communicate
with the debugger, there is a debug sequence that can be used to recover the device. Performing
a total of ten JTAG-to-SWD and SWD-to-JTAG switch sequences while holding the device in reset
mass erases the flash memory. The sequence to recover the device is:
1. Assert and hold the RST signal.
2. Apply power to the device.
3. Perform the JTAG-to-SWD switch sequence.
4. Perform the SWD-to-JTAG switch sequence.
5. Perform the JTAG-to-SWD switch sequence.
6. Perform the SWD-to-JTAG switch sequence.
7. Perform the JTAG-to-SWD switch sequence.
8. Perform the SWD-to-JTAG switch sequence.
