How to Boot Linux on AMD SoC Devices via JTAG

How to Boot Linux on AMD SoC Devices via JTAG

This article is authored by AMD engineer Longley Zhang. In AMD SoC devices (AMD Zynq™ 7000 SoC, AMD Zynq UltraScale+™ MPSoC, AMD Versal™ Adaptive SoC), a common boot method is to load an image from external memory (QSPI Flash, eMMC, etc.) to boot directly into Linux. However, during board debugging, it is often necessary to … Read more

JTAG Operation Example

JTAG Operation Example

After familiarizing ourselves with the JTAG architecture through a series of previous articles, let’s take a complete example to understand how the TAP used for Debug access works. Assuming a debugging scenario where we need JTAG to access and modify a 3-bit wide control signal due to debugging requirements. In normal functional mode, the value … Read more
