29.12.3 SAMPLE_PRELOAD; 0x2

Mandatory JTAG instruction for pre-loading the output latches and taking a snap-shot of the input/output pins without affecting the system operation. However, the output latches are not connected to the pins. The Boundary-scan Chain is selected as Data Register.

The active states are:

  • Capture-DR: Data on the external pins are sampled into the Boundary-scan Chain.
  • Shift-DR: The Boundary-scan Chain is shifted by the TCK input.
  • Update-DR: Data from the Boundary-scan Chain is applied to the output latches. However, the output latches are not connected to the pins.
