Programming via
the JTAG Interface
Programming through the JTAG interface requires control of the four JTAG specific pins: TCK,
TMS, TDI, and TDO. Control of the Reset and clock pins is not required.
To be able to use the JTAG interface, the JTAGEN Fuse must be programmed. The device is
default shipped with the Fuse programmed. In addition, the JTD bit in MCUCSR must be
cleared. Alternatively, if the JTD bit is set, the External Reset can be forced low. Then, the JTD
bit will be cleared after two chip clocks, and the JTAG pins are available for programming. This
provides a means of using the JTAG pins as normal port pins in running mode while still allowing
In-System Programming via the JTAG interface. Note that this technique can not be used when
using the JTAG pins for Boundary-scan or On-chip Debug. In these cases the JTAG pins must
be dedicated for this purpose.
As a definition in this datasheet, the LSB is shifted in and out first of all Shift Registers.
Programming Specific
JTAG Instructions
The Instruction Register is 4-bit wide, supporting up to 16 instructions. The JTAG instructions
useful for Programming are listed below.
The OPCODE for each instruction is shown behind the instruction name in hex format. The text
describes which Data Register is selected as path between TDI and TDO for each instruction.
The Run-Test/Idle state of the TAP controller is used to generate internal clocks. It can also be
used as an idle state between JTAG sequences. The state machine sequence for changing the
