Detailed Description
The technical solutions of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings, and it is to be understood that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present disclosure, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by one of ordinary skill in the art from the embodiments disclosed herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure. In addition, technical features involved in different embodiments of the present disclosure described below may be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
JTAG (Joint Test Action Group) is a common name of standard 1149.1 of IEEE, which is a standard Test protocol, i.e. a standard access port and a boundary scan structure, and is a high-level Test technology developed recently.
In the field of hardware communication, the JTAG signal has the following applications: 1) Interconnection test, judging whether the interconnection line of the device has open circuit, short circuit or logic fault, etc.; 2) Program loading of the programmable device; 3) Online debugging of the programmable device; 4) And (4) circuit sampling, namely sampling the pin state of the chip. Therefore, the JTAG signal can realize a plurality of functional tests and diagnoses of devices on the board cards such as the chip.
However, at present, JTAG signals are optional signals and are not mandatory signals, so most cards do not support JTAG interface circuits. Although some boards have JTAG interfaces, they can only be connected to one board device, and if the board includes multiple chip devices, they can only be JTAG connected to one of the chips.
For example, taking a PCIe (peripheral component interconnect express, high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard) board as an example, the server may insert the PCIe board into a PCIe card slot of the server through a PCIe bus interface to perform data interaction, so as to implement function expansion of the server.
In the related technology, part of the PCIe boards do not support the JTAG interface, and the other part of the PCIe boards support the JTAG interface, but only one JTAG interface is provided on the gold finger of the PCIe board, so that only one device of the PCIe board can be provided with a JTAG communication function, and the other devices still cannot implement JTAG test and debugging, which greatly reduces testability and diagnosability of the PCIe board.
Based on the above defects, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a JTAG communication circuit and a board card having the communication circuit, which are intended to implement JTAG functions of multiple devices on the board card, and implement JTAG signal gating on any one or multiple devices, thereby improving testability and diagnosability of the board card.
In a first aspect, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a JTAG communication circuit, which may be used in a board, and through the JTAG communication circuit of the embodiments of the present disclosure, a JTAG communication function of each device on the board may be implemented.
In some embodiments, the JTAG communication circuit of examples of the present disclosure includes a JTAG terminal and at least two components under test.
The JTAG terminal refers to a port of the card for JTAG communication with an external card. For example, in an example, the PCIe board is taken as an example, the PCIe board has a PCIe gold finger, a plurality of communication ports are soldered on the gold finger, and the PCIe gold finger is connected to a PCIe slot reserved on the server motherboard in a pluggable manner, so that communication between the PCIe board and the server motherboard is implemented. The plurality of communication ports in the PCIe fingers include a part of JTAG related ports, which are the JTAG terminals in the present disclosure.
The JTAG lines mainly include TDI, TDO, TMS, TCK, and TRST signal lines, and thus, the JTAG terminals may also include a TDI terminal, a TDO terminal TMS terminal, a TCK terminal, and a TRST terminal. That is, in the above example, of the gold fingers of the PCIe card, the JTAG-related communication ports may include a TDI terminal, a TDO terminal, a TMS terminal, a TCK terminal, and a TRST terminal.
It is understood that in the JTAG communication line, TDI (Test Data Input) is a Data Input signal line, all Data to be Input to a specific register is Input in series by one bit through the TDI interface, and TDI is mandatory in the IEEE1149.1 standard. TDO (Test Data Output) is a Data Output signal line, and all Data Output from a specific register is Output in series one bit by one bit through a TDO interface, which is mandatory in the IEEE1149.1 standard. TMS (Test Mode Selection Input) is a signal line used to control the transitions of the TAP state machine, the TMS signal is valid on the rising edge of TCK, which is mandatory in the IEEE1149.1 standard. The TCK (Test Clock Input) provides an independent, basic Clock signal by which all operations of the TAP are driven for operation of the TAP state machine, which is mandatory in the IEEE1149.1 standard. TRST (Test Reset Input) can be used to Reset (initialize) the TAP Controller, which is optional in the IEEE1149.1 standard, since the TAP Controller can also be Reset (initialized) by TMS.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, the JTAG communication circuit comprises at least two components to be tested, and the JTAG terminals are sequentially connected in series with the components to be tested to form a JTAG communication link. For example, in one example, the board card is provided with 3 components to be tested, a TDI terminal of the JTAG terminal is connected to an input terminal of a first component to be tested, an output terminal of the first component to be tested is connected to an input terminal of a second component to be tested, an output terminal of the second component to be tested is connected to an input terminal of a third component to be tested, and an output terminal of the third component to be tested is connected to a TDO terminal of the JTAG terminal, so that a complete JTAG communication link is formed.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, each component to be tested comprises a device to be tested and a channel switching circuit. Still taking the PCIe board as an example, as the integrated functions of the PCIe board are more and more, the devices such as chips on the PCIe board are more and more, and these devices that need to perform JTAG communication are the devices to be tested in the present disclosure.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, a channel switching circuit is correspondingly arranged for each device to be tested, and the channel switching circuit includes a first input end, a second input end and a first output end. The first input end and the second input end can be controlled to be in switching connection with the first output end, namely, when the first input end is communicated with the first output end, the second input end is disconnected with the first output end; on the contrary, when the second input end is communicated with the first output end, the first input end is disconnected with the first output end.
The first input end of the channel switching circuit is connected with the input end of the device to be tested corresponding to the channel switching circuit, and the second input end of the channel switching circuit is connected with the output end of the device to be tested corresponding to the channel switching circuit. Therefore, when a certain device to be tested needs to be mounted on the JTAG communication link, only the second input end of the control channel switching circuit needs to be communicated with the first output end, and JTAG signals can flow through the device to be tested. On the contrary, when the device to be tested needs to be isolated outside the JTAG communication link, only the first input end and the first output end of the channel switching circuit need to be controlled to be communicated, JTAG signals can directly flow from the channel switching circuit and do not flow through the device to be tested any more.
Based on the principle, for a plurality of devices to be tested included on the board card, JTAG signal communication of all the devices to be tested can be realized by using one JTAG terminal, that is, JTAG functions of the devices to be tested on the board card can be realized without changing the existing physical interface of the board card. In addition, the channel switching circuit can be used for controlling the required device to be tested to be mounted on the JTAG communication link, so that the test and diagnosis of one or more devices to be tested are pertinently realized, and the testability and the diagnosability of the board card are greatly improved.
In order to make the JTAG communication circuit structure and principle of the present disclosure more clearly understood, the circuit structure shown in fig. 1 is taken as an example for the following description.
As shown in fig. 1, in this example, the board 100 includes 4 devices under test, which are the device under test 210, the device under test 310, the device under test 410, and the device under test 510.
The board card 100 includes a gold finger 110, the gold finger 110 is used for being connected with a response card slot on an external board card in a plugging manner, and a plurality of connection terminals are soldered on the gold finger 110. When the gold finger 110 is inserted into the card slot, each connection terminal on the gold finger 110 can establish communication connection with an external board.
For example, in an example, the board 100 is an PCIe board, a PCIe slot is reserved on the server motherboard, and a gold finger of the PCIe board can be inserted into the PCIe slot on the server motherboard, so that the PCIe board is used to expand the server function.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, since only JTAG communication of a device to be tested is involved, only a TDI terminal and a TDO terminal related to JTAG are shown in the gold finger 110 in fig. 1, and for other connection terminals included on the gold finger, a person skilled in the art can understand and implement the connection terminals according to related technologies, and details of the present disclosure are omitted.
With continued reference to fig. 1, in the disclosed example, one channel switching circuit is provided for each device under test. Specifically, the device under test 210 is connected to the channel switching circuit 220, the device under test 310 is connected to the channel switching circuit 320, the device under test 410 is connected to the channel switching circuit 420, and the device under test 510 is connected to the channel switching circuit 520. The device under test described in this disclosure includes a device under test and a channel switching circuit corresponding thereto, for example, the device under test 210 and the channel switching circuit 220 are a device under test.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the input terminals of the devices under test are denoted by TDI, and the output terminals of the devices under test are denoted by TDO. The circuit structure and the principle of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below by taking the device under test 210 and the channel switching circuit 220 as examples.
As shown in fig. 1, an input end of the device under test 210 is connected to the TDI terminal on the gold finger 110, meanwhile, a first input end a of the channel switching circuit 220 is also connected to the TDI terminal on the gold finger 110, an output end of the device under test 210 is connected to a second input end B of the channel switching circuit 220, and a first output end C of the channel switching circuit 220 is connected to a next component under test.
For the channel switching circuit 220, the first input terminal a and the second input terminal B thereof can be controllably switched to communicate with the first output terminal C. Referring to the circuit shown in fig. 1, when the first input terminal a is connected to the first output terminal C, the TDI terminal on the gold finger 110 will be directly connected to the first input terminal a and the first output terminal C, that is, the device under test 210 will be isolated outside the JTAG link due to the disconnection of the second input terminal B from the first output terminal C. On the contrary, when the second input terminal B is connected to the first output terminal C, due to the disconnection between the first input terminal a and the first output terminal C, the JTAG signal on the gold finger 110 will flow through the device under test 210, and then flow out from the first output terminal C through the second input terminal B, that is, the device under test 210 will be mounted on the JTAG link.
The above description only takes the device under test 210 and the channel switching circuit 220 as examples, and the same principle applies to other components under test, for example, by controlling the switching conduction of the channel switching circuit 320, the device under test 310 can be isolated outside the JTAG link or mounted on the JTAG link, and details of the disclosure are not repeated.
Therefore, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, JTAG signal communication of all devices to be tested can be realized by using the JTAG terminals on the gold fingers 110 of the board card 100, so that JTAG communication of multiple devices to be tested on the board card can be realized without changing the existing gold finger structure, and testability and diagnosability of the board card are improved. In addition, any one or more devices to be tested can be mounted on the JTAG link by utilizing the channel switching circuit, so that the devices to be tested can be detected in a targeted manner, and the online analysis capability of the board card is further improved.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the control circuit may be utilized to control the switching on of each channel switching circuit, which is described below in conjunction with the embodiment of fig. 2.
As shown in fig. 2, in some embodiments, the board 100 further includes a control circuit 600, and an input terminal of the control circuit 600 is connected to a system bus terminal (SMBUS) on the gold finger 110. The SMBUS (System Management Bus) is a control Bus provided by the System and the power Management task, and in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the control circuit 600 may receive an input signal of the System through the SMBUS Bus and generate a control signal according to the input signal.
The control circuit 600 includes a plurality of second output terminals, and the number of the second output terminals may be the same as the number of the channel switching circuits in the board, so that each second output terminal is connected to the control terminal of one channel switching circuit.
For example, as shown in fig. 2, the board 100 includes 4 channel switching circuits, so that the control circuit 600 also includes 4 second output terminals, i.e., a second output terminal E1, a second output terminal E2, a second output terminal E3, and a second output terminal E4. Specifically, the second output terminal E1 is connected to the control terminal D of the channel switching circuit 220, the second output terminal E2 is connected to the control terminal D of the channel switching circuit 320, the second output terminal E3 is connected to the control terminal D of the channel switching circuit 420, and the second output terminal E4 is connected to the control terminal D of the channel switching circuit 520.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the control circuit 600 receives an input signal sent by the system through the SMBUS bus, and sends a control signal to the control terminal D of each channel switching circuit based on the input signal, so as to control the switching of each channel switching circuit.
In some embodiments, the control signal sent by the control circuit 600 to the control terminal D of the channel switching circuit is a high-low level signal, and when the channel switching circuit receives a high level, the second input terminal B is conducted with the first output terminal C; when the channel switching circuit receives a low level, the first input terminal a is conducted with the first output terminal C. The following table shows the corresponding JTAG link conditions for different control signals in the example of fig. 2.

In table one, "mount" means that the device under test is mounted in the JTAG communication link, and "isolate" means that the device under test is isolated outside the JTAG communication link.
Fig. 3 shows a signal flow diagram in which the control circuit 600 controls the device under test 210, 420 to be mounted on the JTAG communication link, while the device under test 310, 510 is isolated outside the JTAG communication link.
As shown in fig. 3, the second input terminal B of the channel switching circuit 220 is conducted with the first output terminal C, so that the device under test 210 is mounted on the JTAG communication link. The first input terminal a of the channel switching circuit 320 is conducted with the first output terminal C, so that the device under test 310 is isolated outside the JTAG communication link. The second input terminal B of the channel switching circuit 420 is conducted with the first output terminal C, so that the device under test 410 is mounted on the JTAG communication link. The first input terminal a of the channel switching circuit 520 is conducted with the first output terminal C, so that the device under test 510 is isolated outside the JTAG communication link.
As can be seen from the above, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the control circuit 600 can be used to control any one or more devices to be tested in a targeted manner to implement the JTAG function, so as to implement the testing, optimization and online analysis of the devices to be tested, and improve the testability and diagnosability of the board card.
As can be seen from the foregoing, with regard to the JTAG communication protocol, it includes not only TDI and TDO lines but also lines such as TMS, TCK, and TRST, and therefore, the JTAG terminal on the gold finger 110 also includes a TMS terminal, a TCK terminal, and a TRST terminal.
In some embodiments, it is sufficient for the TMS terminal, the TCK terminal, and the TRST terminal to be respectively connected to each device under test, and this disclosure does not unduly limit this.
In other embodiments, in consideration of the one-to-many relationship of the terminals, that is, one connection terminal drives a plurality of lines, signal transmission may be performed through a buffer circuit in order to ensure signal stability and reliability.
The Buffer, also called a Buffer register (Buffer), is used on the bus and can perform a function of isolating the front stage from the rear stage, so that in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the communication between the connection terminal and the device under test can be realized by using a Buffer circuit (Buffer), which will be described below.
For example, as shown in fig. 4, the TMS terminal of the gold finger 110 is connected to each device under test through a first buffer circuit 710. For example, as shown in fig. 5, the TCK terminals of the gold fingers 110 are connected to each device under test through the second buffer circuit 720. For example, as shown in fig. 6, the TRST terminal of the gold finger 110 is connected to each dut through a third buffer circuit 730.
For the above examples, it is needless to say that the JTAG protocol and the buffer principle in the related art are referred to by those skilled in the art and can be understood and fully implemented, and the details of the present disclosure are not repeated.
Therefore, in the embodiment of the disclosure, the JTAG function of each device to be tested can be independently controlled through the control circuit and the channel switching circuit, so that JTAG communication of any one or more devices to be tested is realized, functions of testing, program debugging, prior analysis and the like of the device to be tested in a targeted manner are realized, and testability and diagnosability of the board card are improved.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the device under test may be any device suitable for implementation, for example, but not limited to, a Central Processing Unit (CPU) chip, a Micro Controller Unit (MCU) chip, a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) chip, a SWITCH chip, and the like, and the disclosure is not limited thereto.
