Re[2]: JTAG/Boundary Scan

[Richard Rooney <richard.rooney@mentec.ie>]

     On a related subject,does anybody know of an x86-based PCI motherboard 
     that does support JTAG ? I'd like to be able to test PCI-boards 
     in-situ.

     It depends on what you're designing. Section 2.2.10 refers to 
     expansion boards and section 4.3.3 refers to the motherboard (it 
     begins by :
     "PCI control signals always requires pull-up resistors on the 
     motherboard (NOT the expansion board) to ensure ...")
     
     If you design an expansion card and not support JTAG on you board you 
     should hardwire TDI to TDO to ensure the continuity of the JTAG chain.
     
     if you design a motherboard you should follow section 4.3.3.
