Abstract :
In recent times, the 1149.1 TAP and TAP controller have begun to play a more important role in accessing embedded logic that is not specifically limited to 1149.1´s scope as a board-test standard. This logic, referred to by the generic term instruments, includes manufacturing test and design-for-test (DFT) logic; design-for-debug/diagnosis (DFD) logic; design-for-yield (DFY) logic and monitors; and in-system verification logic (such as hardware assertions). The P1687 IJTAG standard working group was created to investigate formalizing and standardizing this use of the 1149.1 controller - and after a little more than a years worth of effort has produced a hardware architecture proposal that is currently being used as a strawman to investigate and develop the description and protocol language effort.
