Problem Title: 
JTAG - Mandatory instructions defined by IEEE standard 1149.1  
 
 
Problem Description: 
Urgency: Standard 
 
General Description: 
 
What are the mandatory Boundary Scan instructions defined by the 
IEEE 1149.1 standard? 
 
 
 
Solution 1: 
 
The only JTAG instructions which are defined and required 
by the IEEE 1149.1 standard are BYPASS, EXTEST and 
SAMPLE/PRELOAD. 
 
BYPASS is defined as all bits in the IR as all ones. 
EXTEST is defined as all bits in the IR as all zeros. 
 
The standard has not designated a mandatory bit pattern for the 
SAMPLE/PRELOAD instruction . This is controlled by the IC 
manufacturer. 
 
All other JTAG instructions are defined by the IC manufacturer and 
can be found in the BSDL file or in the data sheets
