Wouldn’t it be great if there were just one standard for attaching to, programming, and debugging hardware? If you could just plug in and everything would just work? Dream on, dreamer! But of course ...

Download the PDF of this article. These days, hardware debug interfaces like the Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) IEEE 1149.1 standard are ubiquitous. You can find them on many microcontroller and ...

JTAG (jay-tag) is one of the engineering acronyms that has been transformed into a noun, although arguably it is not so popular as RAM, or CPU. IEEE Std 1149.1-1990 IEEE Standard Test Access Port and ...

Most complex electronic systems take advantage of the IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) standard in one way or another. If the system uses complex FPGAs or CPLDs, then they are almost certainly configured using the ...

This gnarly beast has near-magical qualities. [Sprite_TM] patched it together as a dongle which attaches to a JTAG header (we’re fairly certain this is not a standard footprint for that interface ...

These is not exactly a computing question, so much as an embedded computing question. I'm in possession of 8 (Lucent->Cantata->Dialogic) Excel cards with obsolete firmware. I'm trying to update the ...
