LX2162A SoM JTAG
- Josua Mayer
The LX2162A System on Module supports the SoC JTAG signals for use with an external debugger such as NXP’s CodeWarrior TAP. The signals are available on the board-to-board header and access must be facilated by a suitable carrier board.
Signals on B2B Connector
ARM CoreSight Connector | Name | Location |
|---|---|---|
1 | VTREF | J3-15 |
2 | TMS | J3-10 |
4 | TCK | J3-12 |
6 | TDO | J3-22 |
8 | TDI | J3-16 |
10 | SRST_N | J2-19 |
Decoupling TRST_B and PORESET_B
The SoM internally connects from PORESET_B to TRST_B making it impossible to debug the first stage of boot while RCW is being loaded.
It is possible to remove 0-Ohm resistor R9320 from the SoM which results in TRST_B floating. It is located between eMMC and SPI Flash:
JTAG Header on Clearfog EVB
The Clearfog Evaluation board has soldering pads for an ARM CoreSight compatible 10-pin header labeled U3014:
Connecting CodeWarrior TAP
Connector Orientation
The connection between JTAG and board must not swap any wires. Pin 1 on JTAG must go to Pin 1 on the Board (indicated by white arrow) to avoid damaging SoC and the JTAG device. See below the correct orientation for the CodeWarrior TAP to Clearfog EVB:
Connecting CodeWarrior Software with TAP
The CodeWarrior TAP can be connected either via Ethernet on the LAN or direct on a USB port.
On the LAN the tap acquires a DHCP lease and responds to hostname “FSLXXYYZZ” where XXYYZZ are the last 3 octets of its MAC address as indicated on the white sticker on the bottom of the tap. E.g. “FSL06BB1D” for tap with mac address “00:04:9F:06:BB:1D“.
Within the CodeWarrior Software the TAP is automatically usable when connected over USB. In case of Ethernet / LAN the hostname must be entered to the “Probe Address” Column of “Target connections” UI:
