PC7410
Boundary scan testing is enabled through the JTAG interface signals. (BSDL descriptions of the PC7410
are available on the Internet at www.mot.com/PowerPC/teksupport.) The TRST signal is optional in the
IEEE 1149.1 specification but is provided on all PowerPC implementations. While it is possible to force
the TAP controller to the reset state using only the TCK and TMS signals, more reliable power-on reset
performance will be obtained if the TRST signal is asserted during power-on reset. Since the JTAG inter-
face is also used for accessing the common on-chip processor (COP) function of PowerPC processors,
simply tying TRST to HRESET is not practical.
The common on-chip processor (COP) function of PowerPC processors allows a remote computer sys-
tem (typically a PC with dedicated hardware and debugging software) to access and control the internal
operations of the processor. The COP interface connects primarily through the JTAG port of the proces-
sor with some additional status monitoring signals. The COP port requires the ability to independently
assert HRESET or TRST in order to fully control the processor. If the target system has independent
reset sources, such as voltage monitors, watchdog timers, power supply failures or push-button
switches, then the COP reset signals must be merged into these signals with logic.
The arrangement shown in Figure 14-6 on page 50 allows the COP to independently assert HRESET or
TRST, while ensuring that the target can drive HRESET as well. The pull-down resistor on TRST
ensures that the JTAG scan chain is initialized during power-on if a JTAG interface cable is not attached;
if it is attached, it is responsible for driving TRST when needed.
