14 years ago --- Quote Start --- 2 jtags? Do you mean 2 JTAG devices (such as a JTAG debug core and a JTAG UART), or 2 JTAG UARTs? I assume using a serial port would require a hardware change? --- Quote End --- In a project with two cpus is not a good idea use jtag for debug (only for signal tap). I had many problems with it. Today I use two serial ports for debug of cpus and just use the jtag to download programs. to use a serial port you only need put serial uart on sopc builder . sopc create to pins ..... tx and rx .... . you conect it on two external pins and put it on serial port of you machine (pc)....... use db9 conector ........ pins 2 and 3..........(and conect the ground ....) cheers Franz Wagner
