Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, the disadvantage of placing the CPLD outside the link is that when the interconnection between chips is tested, the CPLD cannot be tested, and the coverage is greatly reduced
If the test CPLD requires an external complex JTAG test fixture, it increases the test complexity and reduces the stability of the test system

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and system for automatically realizing channel switching of a JTAG link. According to the method, a CPLD is arranged behind the JTAG link; a buffer is connected in series between the CPLD and the JTAG link, the enable control end low level of the buffer is effective, the TRST pin of the JTAG link is connected to the enable control end of the buffer through a phase inverter, and the TDO pin of the CPLD is used as the output end of a whole link and is connected to a first connector through the buffer; a second connector is arranged and is connected to the CPLD, and the CPLD online programming is carried out through the connector. By using the method, a JTAG test and CPLD coverage can be realized, at the same time, the CPLD online programming is not influenced, the scheme is simple and easy to realize, the human involvement of an operator is not needed in a switching process, and the switching of a channel can be automatically completed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to electronic circuit design technology, in particular to a method and system for automatically realizing channel switching of a JTAG link. Background technique [0002] JTAG (Joint Test Action Group, Joint Test Action Group) is a boundary scan technology developed in the mid-1980s as a JTAG interface to solve PCB physical access problems. This technology was originally used to test the chip. The basic principle is to define a TAP (Test Access Port) inside the device to test the internal nodes through a dedicated JTAG test tool. JTAG test allows multiple devices to be connected in series through the JTAG interface to form a JTAG chain, which can test each device separately. [0003] Generally, there are multiple chips on the network switching board that support JTAG scanning, such as CPU, CPLD, PHY, etc. When designing the circuit, it will be considered to connect the JTAG interfaces of these chips into a chain structure, for ex...
