ID
Identifier.
IEEE 1149.1
The IEEE Standard which defines TAP. Commonly (but incorrectly) referred to as
JTAG.
Image
An executable file that has been loaded onto a processor for execution.
In-Circuit Emulator (ICE)
A device enabling access to and modification of the signals of a circuit while that cir-
cuit is operating.
Instruction Register
When referring to a TAP controller, a register that controls the operation of the TAP.
IR
See Instruction Register.
Joint Test Action Group (JTAG)
The name of the standards group which created the IEEE 1149.1 specification.
Little-endian
Memory organization where the least significant byte of a word is at a lower address
than the most significant byte. See also Big-endian.
Memory coherency
A memory is coherent if the value read by a data read or instruction fetch is the
value that was most recently written to that location. Obtaining memory coherency is
difficult when there are multiple possible physical locations that are involved, such as
a system that has main memory, a write buffer, and a cache.
Memory management unit (MMU)
Hardware that controls caches and access permissions to blocks of memory, and
translates virtual to physical addresses.
Memory Protection Unit (MPU)
Hardware that controls access permissions to blocks of memory. Unlike an MMU, an
MPU does not translate virtual addresses to physical addresses.
Multi-ICE
Multi-processor EmbeddedICE interface. ARM registered trademark.
RESET
Abbreviation of System Reset. The electronic signal which causes the target system
other than the TAP controller to be reset. This signal is also known as "nSRST"
"nSYSRST", "nRST", or "nRESET" in some other manuals. See also nTRST.
nTRST
Abbreviation of TAP Reset. The electronic signal that causes the target system TAP
controller to be reset. This signal is known as nICERST in some other manuals. See
also nSRST.
Open collector
A signal that may be actively driven LOW by one or more drivers, and is otherwise
passively pulled HIGH. Also known as a "wired AND" signal.
