ICEPick is the primary TAP in the chip. It acts as the IEEE 1149.1 JTAG-compliant top-level router for the chip. Conceptually, ICEPick can be viewed as a bank of switches that can connect or isolate a module-level TAPs to and from the higher level chip TAP. The module-level TAPs are called secondary TAPs, while the primary TAP and external JTAG signals are called the master scan path. The ICEPick TAP appears as the first TAP and only TAP in the scan path following a power on. None of the secondary TAPs are selected or visible in the master scan path. From the perspective of the external JTAG interface, secondary TAPs that are not selected appear to not exist. The ICEPick TAP has several scan paths of its own to support secondary TAP selection, control, and status. ICEPick enables dynamic scan chain management and can select one or several slave TAPs and link them in the scan chain.
A number of control bits are associated with each secondary TAP within ICEPick. Some of these bits apply strictly to the TAP being managed by ICEPick, while others apply to the whole subsystem or power domain in which the secondary TAP resides. These control bits deal with the TAP selection for inclusion in the scan path, secondary TAP test reset management, and debug attention needed.
A number of status bits are associated with each secondary TAP within ICEPick. These status bits report the accessibility, visibility, power, and clock states.
The communication protocol can be changed to 4-pin configuration after establishing connection between debug application and on chip cJTAG TAP using 2-pin mode. When cJTAG switches to 4-pin mode, TDI and TDO are mapped automatically to pins through IOC and this has precedence over any other function that was mapped to corresponding DIOs before switching occurs. Switching from 4-pin to 2-pin mode is also supported.
