3.11.4Design Notes

•The IXP43X network processors do not support the 5 V PCI signal interface by itself. Only the 3.3 V signal interface is supported without signal level conversion; however, it is possible to interface to 5 V logic while using a voltage level converter.

•The PCI Local Bus Specification, Rev. 2.2 requires that the bus is always parked, as some device is always driving the AD lines. You must use pull-ups on these signals. The specification states that the following control lines should be pulled up:

— FRAME_N	— TRDY_N	— IRDY_N	— DEVSEL_N
— STOP_N	— SERR_N	— PERR_N	— LOCK_N
— INTA_N	— INTB_N	— INTC_N	— INTD_N

•The GPIO pins of the IXP43X network processors can be used by PCI devices on PCI slots to request an interrupt from the processors’ PCI controller.

•PCI_INTA_N is used to request interrupts to external PCI Masters. This signal is an open drain and requires a pull-up resistor.

3.12JTAG Interface

JTAG is the popular name for IEEE standards 1149.1-1990 and 1149.1a-1993, IEEE Standard Test Access Port and Boundary-Scan Architecture, which provides support for:

•Board-level boundary-scan connectivity testing

•Connection to software debugging tools through the JTAG interface

•In-system programming of programmable memory and logic devices on the PCB

The interface is controlled through five dedicated test access port (TAP) pins: TDI, TMS, TCK, nTRST, and TDO, as described in the IEEE 1149.1 standard. The boundary-scan test-logic elements include the TAP pins, TAP controller, instruction register, boundary-scan register, bypass register, device identification register, and data-specific registers. These are described in the Intel® IXP43X Product Line of Network Processors Developer’s Manual.

The IXP43X network processors can be controlled during debug through a JTAG interface to the processor, the debug tools such as the Macraigor Systems Raven*, EPI Majic*, Wind River Systems* visionPROBE*/ visionICE* or various other JTAG tools plug into the JTAG interface through a connector.
