Discussion:
EJTAG and RTL8181

I am trying to get JTAG working with Realtek's RTL8181 part. It uses a Lexra
LX5280 core which is mostly MIPS R3000 compatible (bar the unaligned load and
save instructions).

A chronicle of my efforts can be seen here:

Realtek can't offer me a BSDL file as they claim they use some 3rd party tool
to talk to it with JTAG. My lack of luck with Macraigor's Wiggler and a demo
of their OCD debugger (in Windows) in EJTAG mode just yielded a screenful of
errors.

Has anyone had much experience with Wigglers and MIPS based parts that don't
support EJTAG? Any ideas on trying to reverse engineer the boundary scan
chain?

Have you contacted Abatron? I've used their BDI2000 on quite a few MIPS
processors. Anything that supported some form of E/JTAG worked well.
They are awesome folks to work with, and are likely to be able to
provide
some form of assistance or information.
