What are the secure configurations for HPS JTAG debug and access?

Two efuse bits, dbg_disable_access and dbg_lock_JTAG, control the secure JTAG debug configurations. You can read the programmed efuse values for your device through the HPS_fusesec register. A bit value of 1 in the HPS_fusesec register represents a "blown" fuse state and a 0 represents an "unblown" fuse state.

The table below describes the possible HPS configurations with JTAG. The dbg_access_f and dbg_lock_JTAG columns reflect the efuse value of these bits in the HPS_fusesec register. If both efuse are unblown then after the device exits reset, full JTAG access is possible. This configuration is the default configuration.

JTAG Configuration dbg_disable_access dbg_lock_JTAG Description
HPS JTAG include 0 1
  • This configuration includes the HPS in the JTAG chain by default.
  • Your software application cannot remove the HPS from the JTAG chain.
  • This configuration allows HPS debug from power-on reset.
HPS JTAG exclude 1 1 Permanently exclude the HPS from the JTAG chain.
Default 0 0 Enable JTAG with software debug programmability.
