Abstract:
A Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) communication lockout processor is disclosed. The processor is configured to generate a unlock sequence based on an operational mode change of an operably connected programmable device, and save the unlock sequence to one or more memory registers. The processor can also receive an execution of the unlock sequence via a dual function JTAG communication bus, determine, via an unlock logic, whether the execution of the unlock sequence is valid, and responsive to determining that the execution of the unlock sequence is valid, allow or disallow the JTAG communication with an embedded processor.

Claim (Index 1):
A Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) lockout assembly for a programmable device comprising:\n an embedded processor in the programmable device; a lockout processor operatively connected to the embedded processor, wherein the lockout processor comprises an unlock logic configured to allow or disallow JTAG communication with the embedded processor based on an unlock sequence operational across a dual function JTAG communication bus; and a test interface operatively connected to the embedded processor and the lockout processor, the test interface configured to cause an unlock controller to:\n retrieve an unlock sequence on the JTAG communication bus from one or more memory registers via a lockout controller operating on the test interface; and \n execute the unlock sequence across the JTAG communication bus; and \n access the programmable device through the JTAG communication bus responsive to executing the unlock sequence.
