MarsBoard/JTAG

Connection

The marsboard P2 connector includes the UART 0 and JTAG signals as 3.3V TTL!.

You will need to make a JTAG adapter to suit your JTAG debugger.

ARM 20-pin JTAG	MarsBoard P2 Header
pin 1 - Vref	pin 63 - VCC-3V3
pin 5 - TDI	pin 70 - JTAG-DI
pin 7 - TMS	pin 67 - JTAG-MS
pin 9 - TCK	pin 68 - JTAG-CK
pin 13 - TDO	pin 68 - JTAG-DO
pins 2-20 (even)	pin 64 - GND

Check your JTAG tool's cable details for alternate pinouts.

Notes:

On Allwinner A20:

• Ensure Linux power-management is disabled and both CPUs are enabled to connect reliably, or setup your debugger to use a single-core only.

The script below connects to the A20 configured in SMP mode with both CPUs powered on. If you are in the bootloader or trying to connect while only CPU0 is online, use the uni-processor script.
