I always turn of adblocker when watching Daves channel. He deserves every penny he earns.
Solo Gals Does it really make a difference for the channel owner? I thought that CZcams only counts the number of views for each Video...
Im not sure. Thats why i always turn it of for eevblog.
+DjB3RzErK I wonder if it measures a partial viewing, like 15 sec out of 30?
A good adblocker will have special code for CZcams so you can whitelist certain channels
CZcams screws monetization.
wow! I have been using JTAG for programming for many years and I never realized about its true power until I saw this video! great work my friend!!!
Thanks. Glad you found it useful.
+Robert Slackware He does it cause it's more or less worthless on a laptop board that's out of the assembly stages. There are security bits that get flipped once the manufacturer is finished using the JTAG, which leads to it being rendered more or less inaccessible (especially mac books, which Louis deals with. Apple sux, we know). Removing it in case of fluid damage in the vicinity more often than not can fix the problem. JTAGs are pretty sensitive and "thin skinned".
EEVblog Thank you so much for these videos! As an engineering student with a lot of interest in electronics, I have been watching your videos quite often, and always learn something new! Thanks again Dave!
One of the best (if not the best) explanation of JTAG and Boundary Scanning that I've seen. Good stuff.
I am software engineer with passion on hardware, used JTAG and ICE 10 years to bring up few products with fresh hw engrs passion on sw. We did. Now, the way you explaining things artistically can make any one understand and get motivated. Wow! Keep going for all.
I bet you did not have passion for HW though
We used JTAG to control uC. I never knew the "boundary scan" feature exists. Thank you for explaining the wonders of JTAG!
Wow, I normally have a difficult time understanding hardware related stuff, but you explain it like it was basic.
It takes an expert to explain difficult stuff easy. You nailed it, subscribed.
You are better than the best professor at my college. Great video. Keep up the great work. The electronics world needs more people like you!
Thanks Dave , I didn't know about the boundary scan possibility with JTAG only the programming functions. This was a great eye opener for me!! Cheers!
I realised that I wasted a whole day just theoritically googling to understand the jtag/boundary scan concept until I saw this video of yours
Why did not I has a video like this when I was in the college? Save a lot of effort in understanding JTAG.
Such an amazing information. We have been trying to debug faulty PCB's since 1 month and now I got a wonderful tool to utilise. Thanks a ton!
Wow. I was just reading an introduction to JTAG's interface and its implementation like the TAP controller state machine. Great timing with the video, Dave. It really complemented what I just learned. Now I got a JTAG itch to go scratch :)
This was an excellent explanation about JTAG and boundary scan. This video is very clear and can be understated by any electronics graduates. It helped me a lot to understand the uses of JTAG and boundary scan in FPGA. Thank you sir:-)
Thought JTAG was difficult
But you forced me to change my mind.
Thank you very much
dude !!! you are soo good in presenting what is on your mind
i like what you are doing a lot
thank you so much for the valuable information and good demos !
Thanks for this video! I had no idea JTAG's capabilities went that far, I always thought it was just for flashing chips and debugging your programs. Wow! I could see the direct pin access being very useful in a production environment for doing electrical tests on finished boards. Very nice, keep up the cool videos!
Fascinating Dave, thanks. I'm using JTAG for flash and debug on my ESP32, but it's great to know of all of the extra power behind JTAG.
I have been working with electronics for a while, i have been hearing my colleagues using the word 'JTAG'... never knew what it meant or how it is used. this video was a great eye opener. words fall to short to describe the gratitude i have for such an insightful video thanks a million... keep up the good work man
Nobody can equal Dave when explaining difficult subjects like this and make them easy to understand!
Very thorough, very clear descriptions. Thank you so much!
Wow! This was a great video! And thanks for showing the software at the end... it gave some examples of how useful JTAG can be.
Amazing! A video with theory explanation and with a practical example!
Thanks for making it so simple and easy to understand the concepts of JTAG
Found it in 2022. This is an amazingly clear explanation! Thank you so much. Really helps one understand what the heck JTAG is.
Awesome video really couldn't have made this more clear.
This is awesome! Perfect video for a beginner in Large-scale industrial chip design
Amazing tutorial thanks!
Dave, these videos are awesome, I will go back and watch all you have made.
Good video. I'm more involved in software but wanted to learn a bit about JTAG and this video was a really good introduction for me. Thanks
Thanks for this fun intro to JTAG, Dave.
I really enjoyed this one! Thank you Dave!
Really good one. Definitely turned me on to possibilities of JTAG.
The real beauty of that xjtag system is that you can write code that describes how to test a particular chip. Once that's written, anytime you use the same chip on any of your boards you can call the same test routines. So it hides all the serial details from the user and makes your test routines very reusable. I loved it when I was doing test.
Great Vid! This complements nicely with my knowledge of using JTAG to flash routers, really opens my mind and makes perfect sense
My university professors need to follow this channel. Full of knowledge, full of respect Dave. Thanks!
Way late to the party here, but I see JTAG on just about every product I test at work. Much appreciated information on this. Great video!
You got to love the enthousiasm !!! Love the content.
@AvstoMusic - Each JTAG pin "site" knows whether it's an input or not, so an input won't 'adopt' its shifted-in value. Instead, it will ignore the shifted-in value and shift out its current value - when TMS is strobed, at least! So a host performs a complete scan by: [1] Shifting N bit values; [2] Strobe TMS to "Make It So!" (see my previous comment); [3] Shifting N bit values. That will program the outputs to the desired values, and then read the resultant values.
You are what my college needs. Hats off to you.
Great video! I was not aware that you could read and WRITE pins directly via boundry scan.
That was so interesting and powerful protocol thanks Mr. David 😍😍
That was very useful and interesting. Thanks for this Dave!
Thanks so much for the explanation. Very helpful and very well made
Excellent , Dave. Thank you.
You are awesome, so glad I stumbled upon this vid!!!
Very much clear description!!!! Thanks!!
Non ti abbattere, la maggior parte dei discorsi sono semplici da capire soprattutto perché con il video si riesce a raffigurare quello che spiega e tu puoi associarlo al discorso..
Guarda anche altri suoi video e piano piano avrai l' orecchio per seguire tutto quello che dice :)
Ciao
Fully expected my brain to fry and scream "mercy" but this was in fact easy to follow and enjoyable to the last. Thank you Dave!
Really helpful video. You explained it very well and I got to know a lot about JTAG. Thank you very much
You probably dont have time to read comments but you inspired me many years ago. I used to watch your videos knowing very little about this stuff. Today I'm repairing boards of all natures, doing trace repairs, and I've recently had to repair a completely snapped board. I was a software hacker, and hardware just seemed like the ultimate way to control and manipulate hardware. During my time hardware hacking I invested in a good stereo microscope, oscilloscope and rework station. I had all the tools to do repairs, so now I do that because it's good money, more fun, and beats my old programming career. Thank you :D
You ditched software for hardware job? Can you tell me more? I love hardware engineering but seeing the amount of software jobs and their salary let me down sometimes. ....is there something that most don't know about hardware engineering jobs? Online there aren't any hardware engineers telling about their jobs compared to software engineers
I didn't know it was used for programming, i did know it was used for testing and debugging but I never knew how it operated. Very informative video.
Great video Dave - A few things were repeated a little too much, (that's what rewind is for) but overall: really interesting and educational. Thanks!
Loving these fundamentals videos!
I always use the lapel mic for recording FF video, I have to, as the camera is 3 meters away. But when shooting on the bench I use the internal mic.
Lapel mics are not perfect, and if you turn your head the volume varies a lot. I passed this one through The Levelator to level out the audio, which is not easy to do in my Sony video editing software.
Hey Dave! Thank you! That was very informative
Excellent video Dave. Thanks very much!
Dave, you are the freaki'n best! When I get some money I'm going to send you a donation - you deserve it.
Excellent video Dave. Reminds me of the Engineers access method for diagnostics on ICL 2960 mainframe computers. We could access all the registers of the system by " spinning the loops" and read the contents of all the registers on a serial bus. Keep up the fundamentals Friday stuff. Maybe some more novice vids would be good?
great video Dave, thank you.
Thanks for the video Dave, I love Fundamentals Friday!
I learned a lot thanks to this video... thanks Dave
Thank you very much for all the Explanations and videos you make ... God bless you
Great presentation. Very informative. Many Thanks.
Hi ! Always enjoy watching the videos ;) Just had a Suggestion ...
You know , the content is just great ! but those huge length of episodes really give me a second thought :)
Amazing, thank you so much for this!
Excellent, Thank you very much Dave
I initially thought that JTAG was for testing purposes only, like hardware faults and cold solder joints and such. But thanks to Dave, I now know how powerful it actually is at performing many other useful things like programming chips ! And all of that in only 29 minutes ! (actually 20 minutes because I watch the video at 1.5 speed)
This is awesome it's been around that long
very good explanation!
Great description - thanks
oh i am 100% playing with this in my next project
this is so cool
We now need a video about IEEE Std 1149.7 which is only a 2-wire interface.
Awesome, as always! thanks dave.
Simply wonderful ...
Great ..you deserves allot...
Dave CZcams University.. you are a very good lecturer
This is very informative. Thank you for the video
this is exactly how i wished to be explained! i loved it
Dave has such a soft and calming voice in this unlike his later videos.
Amazing as always! Thanks a lot
Thanks, this was useful for learning
Very nice and exciting. Thanks.
Very good video. I am just a hobbyist, but it is good to know that the 'big boys' need to debug pin by pin also.
Am I alone losing my eyesight by constantly watching Dave's amazing videos?
Cool explanation for start.
Awesome explanation!
woow .. Awesome Explanation ..Thank you
I remember the days we were doing joint test action, not much real work was done afterwards...
Very Good explanation!. It was very very useful
absolutely amazing! thank you!
Great video! Clear and concise. Liked and subscribed
Great tutorial , thanks
Really useful video. Thanks
Very good. Thanks. Just to remind that signal integrity should be taken into account carefully. If many chips with JTAG pins exist, say complex boards, I prefer using CPLD to access each chip directly rather than having chains (chains can be established on CPLD rathher than PCB with maximum flexibility) and installing/uninstalling jumpers on TDI-TDO pins. And of course optional TRST pin exists as well.
Great Video Dave
I'll be re-listing these soon
Nice. I just learned a lot of useful stuff. Thanks!
Well yes, of course you need good software to decode all display the info, otherwise you are just looking at The Matrix
So extremely useful!
Good one! Actually this makes two Fridays in a row.
I used to like your teardowns best. I may revise that.
