T1024 COP connection

PaulWalker — Mon, 12 Feb 2024 11:30:30 GMT

I have a design layout using a T1024 processor. The design uses JTAG/COP for debug/programming. For the JTAG/COP do I need to connect the JTAG/COP to the processor HRESET_B, or can I leave HRESET_B as not-connected?

The T1 series migration guide (AN5079) says reset assertion should only use PORESET_B, and there is no soft reset. This seems to suggest the processor HRESET_B should not be connected.

The CodeWarrior TAP manual (CWTAPUG) section 9 says COP SRST_B (pin11) 'may' be connected. Does this say pin11 is optional? Will the emulator work correctly if COP SRST_B is not connected?

Kind regards,

Paul

Hello,

Please find in the QorIQ T1024 Family Design Checklist - Chapter 5.21.2 JTAG system-level recommendations:

Correct operation of the JTAG interface requires configuration of a group of system control pins as demonstrated in Figure 23. Care must be taken to ensure that these pins are maintained at a valid deasserted state under normal operating conditions,
as most have asynchronous behavior and spurious assertion gives unpredictable results.

Thanks,

That's the same diagram as in the T1024 datasheet (chapter 4.5). I've been using this as a reference. What I wanted to know is what the minimum connections are required to support the COP. I have a working board now and have determined that:

HRESET_B must be pulled-up to OVDD (via a 1K resister).

System board reset (from FPGA/CPLD) must be connected to PORESET_B and TRST_B.

COP_HRESET_B must be connected to PORESET_B.

COP_SRESET_B not-connected.

COP_TRST_B must be connected to TRST_B.

The above arrangement works ok. My original question was about HRESET_B, which I discovered must be either connected to logic or pulled-up. I also discovered the CodeWarrior TAP emulator does not appear to use COP_SRESET_B so can be left not-connected.

Thanks again.
