Description

PCH JTAG Signals

PCH_​JTAG_​TCK

I/O

Test Clock Input (TCK): The test clock input provides the clock for the JTAG test logic.

PCH_​JTAG_​TMS

IOD

Test Mode Select (TMS): The signal is decoded by the Test Access Port (TAP) controller to control test operations.

PCH_​JTAG_​TDI

IOD

Test Data Input (TDI): Serial test instructions and data are received by the test logic at TDI.

PCH_​JTAG_​TDO

IOD

Test Data Output (TDO): TDO is the serial output for test instructions and data from the test logic defined in this standard.

PCH_​JTAG_​TRST#

I/O

Test Reset(TRST): Resets the Test Access Port (TAP) logic. This signal should be driven low during power-on Reset.
JTAGX I/O This pin is used to support merged debug port topologies.

DBG_​PMODE

O

ITP Power Mode Indicator. This signal is used to transmit processor and PCH power/reset information to the Debugger.

PRDY# IOD Probe Mode Ready: PRDY# is a processor output used by debug tools to determine processor debug readiness.
PREQ# IOD Probe Mode Request: PREQ# is used by debug tools to request debug operation of the processor.
TRIGGER_​IN I This pin is used for debug support.
TRIGGER_​OUT O This pin is used for debug support.
GPP_​J11/DAM O Debug Authentication Mode.
Boundary Scan Sideband Signals and Debug for I3C
GPP_​J10/BPKI3C_​SCL/BSSB_​LS_​TX I/O

BPKI3C_​SCL:Debug for I3C Clock

BSSB_​LS_​TX: Boundary Scan Sideband Low Speed Transmit for debug purposes

GPP_​J09/BPKI3C_​SDA/BSSB_​LS_​RX I/O

BPKI3C_​SDA:Debug for I3C Data

BSSB_​LS_​RX:Boundary Scan Sideband Low Speed Receive for debug purposes

Boot Halt Signal and Fuse Break
GPP_​J07/BOOTHALT# IOD Boot Halt: This signal is used for platform boot halt.
