No, you should see FFF7. The 5 byte offset is added to the addres AFTER the
jump+offset instruction.
But as someone else already pointer out: what you see on the bus might not
show what the processor is doing. The CPU might read ahead while the code is
pipelined.

Hi,
I have a designed a PCB that has a 512Kbits flash with Intel
386EXTC processor. I am trying to test my PCB by hooking up the data
and address lines on logic analyzer and writing simple JMP (short)
instruction in 386
assembly language. I know that since my UCS is connected to CS of
Flash, processor will go to FFF0h address of Flash and execute the
instruction present at FFF0h. My Flash contains these simple
instructions:
ADD Opcode
FFF0 EBh (opcode for short jump that takes 8 bit(here
05h)dispalcement)
FFF1 05h
FFF2 00h
FFF3 00h
FFF4 00h
FFF5 00h
FFF6 EBh
FFF7 03h
On logic analyzer, I should see FFF5 after FFF0/FFF1. Instead, all I
see is addresses being incremented sequentially with whatever data is
present on the different locations ie I see EB,05 etc on data bus but
processor is not executing the instructions. I have tried other
instructions too, like NOP and HLT but can't seem to make my processor
do what it is asked to do. Can some one suggest what the problem may
be and how can I fix it? BS8 of processor is tied low.
Thanks
