Abstract

A target devi ce integrated circuit with an embedded asynchronous microcontroller is fitted with a standard JTAG-TAP interface. On board the IC a TAP port controller and emulation interface are able to intercept and substitute every instruction being fetched from a code memory. An external emulation PC has the ability to inspect on-board data and code memories by instruc Icing the embedded asynchronous microcontroller to read and write them to the JTAG-TAP interface. Single-stepping and breakpoint registers are provided for debugging and testing by the external emulation PC.
