2 LPC in the same JTAG connector

Hi.

Anyone know how to connect 2 LPC in the same Jtag conector?

Thanks

Yes, I've done that. You have to daisy chain the TDO output of one to
the TDI input of the other. Then connect all signals as usual. The
tricky part is that you have to describe the JTAG chain in your JTAG
config file. It is fairly simple really, you just name each chain as
being 4 bits long. This is a BDI2000 config file for an LPC2106 chained
to an LPC2138 (hint, SCANPRED and SCANSUCC are key elements of the chain

Thanks for your response. I will try this.

Another question: If the other element isn't LPC, but a FPGA. The procedure
is the same?

Thanks.

Correct. What you need to do is identify each device in the chain as
far as how wide the jtag instruction register of those devices are. In
the case of most ARM processors, the jtag opcode is four bits long. The
FPGA may have a differnet length opcode, so you would need to put the
appropriate value into the config file.

In the case of the BDI2000, I have the ethernet port base set to 4000.
So, 4000 is the first device, 4001 is the next and 4002 ... When I
telnet into the BDI2000, I simply say "S 0", "S 1", "S 2" ... to switch
to each core. This way, you can erase / program each one manually.
Keep in mind! That the LPC2106 had those oddball JTAG interfaces, if
you erased the device, then reset it, you would lose control of it on
the secondary JTAG port.

Anyway, interestingly, you don't need two cores (processors) to take
advantage of the multiple definitions. I use the same technique of
multiple cores with a single ARM processor to divide up my debugging.
This config shows a project which the Flash is sectioned into two
essential parts: bootstrap and loader. The external RAM is where all
programs (applications) get executed. When I want to work on the
bootstrap code, it is 4000, the loader code is 4001, and I normally
download into the external RAM to do application development at 4002.
This is all using the Insight debugger. The names have been changed,
but you can see how it is done:
