  • Hi Maynard,

    You are looking at the correct documentation, but you also need to connect the JTAG !RST pin. The section "Signal Connections for In-System Programming and Debugging" states that the connection to this pin is required for devices that support 2-wire JTAG communication, even if you're using the 4-wire JTAG communication mode.

    Furthermore, make sure you're following Figure 2-2 for 2-wire JTAG.

    Regards,
