Hi,
We are building a hardware with TIVA TM4C129NCPDT as the chip. We have to implement 20 pin TRACE debug for ARM. I have made the circuit as shown (attached). I have connected the respective trace pins properly to the TIVA controller. I have following doubts:
1. Which pin of TIVA should i connect the GNDDetect pin of the connector?
2. Do i need series termination for TRACE pins?
3. Please let me know reference schematic for 20 pin ARM TRACE DEBUG ckt for TIVA TM4C129NCPDT controller.
Hello Nagendra,
We don't have a reference schematic but general JTAG connections are discussed in this app note: http://www.ti.com/lit/an/spma075/spma075.pdf It looks like you have the right resistors in place already.
For adding Trace, the TM4C1294NCPDT has the following pins available for Trace functionality:
I am not aware of any need for series termination for the pins, so you should just be able to make those connections in addition to the JTAG connections.
I have not seen any references for the GNDDetect connection for Trace, but for the 10 pin ARM connector we connected GNDDetect to TM4C GND and I would recommend the same here.
