Hi,
I’m not sure what you mean.
The JTAG port can be reconfigured as any other pins.
JTAG-to-SWD change sequence is described in Section 56.3.1 RM, r.7.

Daniel

Hi Daniel,

Is there any way to disable debug port(JTAG, SWD, DAP) completely? For security reason, we need to disable the debug port and make sure hardware debuggers(jlink, pemicro, lauterbach, etc) will not work. If needed, we can enable it via other communication interfaces(CAN, UART, etc) with authorization.

Hi [email protected],

Take a look at this example:

Example S32K144 Verify Backdoor Access Key S32DS1.3 

When the MCU is secure, the debugger has access to MDM-AP control and status registers only.

It can read the Status register and trigger Mass erase in the Control register (56.6.1 MDM-AP Control Register, RM rev.11).

The example shows how to unsecure the MCU using Backdoor key from inside.

BR, Daniel
