JTAG/SWD interface connection on LPC1778

Two questions related to JTAG/SWD interface on LPC1778 device.

The User Manual (Figure 176 on page 909) shows the connection of Cortex Debug connector. The pin 10 is connected to nRESET, the general reset input of MCU. Is it correct? Should I connect pin 10 to JTAG_TRST? Is it the same?

Second question. User Manual shows a pull-up resistor on JTAG_TDO pin. It's an output from the MCU, why a pull-up should be used?

Dont know about Datasheet but I've seen JTAGs worked with or even without Pull-up resistor for LPC1768 so why dont you just put them to stop worrying about the whole thing ?

What is not clear to me is the internal pull-up/down resistors for LPC1769. The datasheet says nothing about them. Does this mean they are absent?

It's strange, because big brothers LPC1778 does have internal pull-ups on some JTAG pins.

Yes. you could use pull up resistors for JTAG pins except TCK which is better to pull it down with 10K

Note for TCK/SWCLK, although a pull-down is recommended, you can alternatively use a pull-up. The main thing is that it does not float. Note in particular that if the MCU provides an internal pull-up on this signal, then adding an external pull-down on the board is not recommended.

Some MCUs do not include internal pull-up or pull-down resistors on JTAG/SWD pins. You  will need to review the datasheet for the specific MCU being used to confirm.

UM10470 for LPC178x/177x says JTAG_TMS and JTAG_TDI pins have an internal pull-up. So the board should provide external pull-up on JTAG_TCK and JTAG_TDO (as indicated in the figure 176 on page 909).
However the link above suggest to use a pull-down on JTAG_TCK, but UM10470 shows a pull-up...

UM10360 for LPC176x/175x doesn't say anything about internal pull-up. Does this mean I should add 4 external pull-up resistors on all JTAG pins?
