Hi
 As mentioned, you should find out from the manufacture
of the device how they use JTAG to access the device.
There is no standard for this part.
 Get a copy off 1149.6 to see how JTAG it self works.
JTAG is not something you solely do in software,
it is a hardware spec. You need a JTAG interface and
the spec on how to use that( could even be done with
a printer port and some connectors ).

Most of the work is adapting to the device and the hardware
configuration of your jtag cable (which bit of which port of which
processor controls what jtag signal).

Start by picking a representative device and researching programming
methods for that using the manufacturer's website and/or google.

Hi Antti,

I am tasked to dynamically configure the PROM. JTAG is used for that. But
we need to implement it through software. We have Intel Hex file which we
need to load in to PROM with out JTAG. So I need to know how JTAG does this
so that we can do this. 

As you said "it depends on what device on the JTAG", so my doubt is if we
get this for any device then cannt we do the same for the other device with
modification according to that device.

Thanks,
Ashish

Hex files consist solely of printing chars, so they can go anywhere
that text can.  After that there are a couple of popular coding
formats, largely originating with Intel and Motorola.

copy i_need_to_school_and_do_my_homework.hex > /dev/jtag

if that doesnt work, go to www.silabs.com
install silabs IDE, there is HEX2SVF utility
this convert HEX file to SVF file
then use UrJTAG
and type

SVF myhex_converted_svf.SVF
it will send the HEX down to the JTAG
but i bet it is not what you want


Antti
PS there is no answer to your question in the way you asked.
hex files can be sent OVER jtag connection in SOME cases
but it depends WHAT device on the JTAG you are talking to.
