Product Overview

Introduction
The NetUSB-1149.1, NetUSB-1149.1/E and NetUSB-1149.1/SE High-Speed Boundary-Scan
(JTAG) Controllers are members of the Corelis ScanPlus™ and ScanExpress™ family of scan-
based test, analysis, and diagnostic tools. They are managed by a PC host, which is linked with
either a USB2.0 (compatible with USB1.1) interface, or over 10/100 Ethernet network. Under host
direction, the NetUSB-1149.1, NetUSB-1149.1/E and NetUSB-1149.1/SE test one or more IEEE
Standard 1149.1 compatible target board (UUT). The NetUSB-1149.1 family is designed to control
the operation of one or more IEEE Standard 1149.1 boundary-scan (JTAG) test access ports
(TAPs) by generating the proper signals as dictated by software. This provides stimulus and accepts
response signals of the attached customer target circuits, enabling their testing and/or programming.
This capability is supported by memory-behind-the-pin architecture driving scan operations at
continuous JTAG clock (TCK) speeds of up to 70 MHz.
The NetUSB-1149.1 family facilitates software-controlled boundary-scan operations per the IEEE
Standard 1149.1. It provides command visibility to the target’s Test Access Port (TAP), accessing
device internal registers and on-chip debugger, verifying PCB interconnects, performing functional
testing, and debug without manual probing. The JTAG interface provides access to internal device
functions that are not accessible via external probing, enabling fault isolation within the device itself.
The JTAG interface also enables programming target FLASH and CPLD devices, as well as data
downloading and uploading to and from the target memory devices.
Either of the NetUSB-1149.1 type controllers can also be used to perform microprocessor
emulation via that device’s JTAG port. This facilitates firmware development by providing single-
step, break, and content update/visibility access.
There are three models of this product. The basic NetUSB-1149.1 (no /E or /SE suffix) has
scanning access through a single SCSI II 68-pin connector. This supports a single direct target TAP
operation with the appropriate cable. With a different cable type, it implements the Corelis
ScanExpress expansion bus to operate a remote intelligent pods, such as the ScanTAP-4, ScanTAP-
8, ScanTAP-32, or ScanHUB (in turn accessing more of the ScanTAP intelligent pods). The
NetUSB-1149.1/E and NetUSB-1149.1/SE models are capable of scanning multiple TAPs
concurrently when used with the ScanExpress Runner software which is sold separately.
The NetUSB-1149.1/E model is similar to the NetUSB-1149.1 above, but has the equivalent of a
ScanTAP-4 remote pod built-in as an integral resource, enabling it to operate up to four boundary-
scan TAPs simultaneously. Note that the external SCSI connector on this unit is not used and no
external ScanTAP pod is required.
The NetUSB-1149.1/SE model is similar to the NetUSB-1149.1/E except that it contains a built in
ScanTAP-8 pod as an integral resource, enabling it to operate up to eight target TAPs
simultaneously, with no other external equipment And therefore the NetUSB-1149.1/SE model
does not use the external SCSI connector.

What Is IEEE Standard 1149.1?
The IEEE Standard 1149.1 Test Access Port (TAP) and boundary-scan architecture enable control
of an IC, board, or system, via a standard four-signal interface. Each IEEE-1149.1 compliant IC
incorporates a feature known as boundary-scan, which ensures that a JTAG controller can control
and observe each functional pin of the IC via the JTAG interface. A controller can load test, debug,
or initialization patterns serially into the appropriate IC(s) via the IEEE-1149.1 TAP. Thus, even
with limited physical access, a user can observe or control IC, board, or system functions.
Two main elements comprise the IEEE Standard 1149.1 test Port: a Test Access Port (TAP), which
interfaces internal IC logic with the external world via a four-signal (optionally five-signal) Port as
shown in Figure 1-4, and a boundary-scan architecture, which defines standard boundary cells that
drive and receive data at the IC pins. IEEE Standard 1149.1 also defines both mandatory and
optional OPCODES and test features. The test Port signals are: Test Clock (TCK), Test Mode
Select (TMS), Test Data In (TDI), Test Data Out (TDO), and the optional Test Logic Reset (TRST).

The IEEE-1149.1 Test Access Port

Interface (TAP) consists of four
TMS
required signals:
Test Mode Select (TMS) TCK T
Test Clock (TCK) TDI
Test Data In (TDI)
A
TDO
Test Data Out (TDO)
A fifth signal is defined as optional: TRST* P
Test Reset (TRST*)

Features of the NetUSB-1149.1

The Corelis NetUSB-1149.1 family includes the NetUSB-1149.1, NetUSB-1149.1/E and the
NetUSB-1149.1/SE models. It is a high performance boundary-scan test and programming
controller that can access devices, boards or systems compliant with IEEE Standard 1149.1. It has
two distinct host PC access ports for easy deployment, including USB 2.0 (also compatible with
USB 1.1) and Ethernet 10/100baseT, only one of which manages operations at a time. If a host
connection is made both at the Ethernet and USB ports, the USB access controls operation.
These scan controllers drive one or more JTAG boundary-scan chains (TAP), depending on module
type and/or attachment of external pods (ScanTAP-x). Included per TAP are a number of input
and/or output discrete signals available to test or control non-boundary-scan areas of the unit under
test (UUT) target. They facilitate non-scanned target FLASH write pulsing and FLASH ready/busy
line sensing to greatly reduce the scanning cycles required for such devices. With its software-
controlled voltage translating logic, the NetUSB-1149.1 family can test low voltage as well as
standard TTL/CMOS systems.

1-4 Product Overview

The NetUSB-1149.1 family contains several performance enhancing functional sections aimed at
increasing test vector throughput. Key elements include the TAP controller, and the memory
resources that support it. The large on-board memory provides scan data storage and can often
hold the data for an entire scan, maximizing performance and enabling real-time operations.
A test system accesses the TAP controller and its associated memory by host management
communications. This is supported by the high data rate of the USB 2.0 or Ethernet 10/100baseT
links, regardless of actual TCK test clock speeds. The ability to download information into these
memory elements decouples the scan operations from the host software. A state machine that
contains status and control registers accessible to the host controls all functions of the NetUSB-
1149.1 controllers.
The NetUSB-1149.1 family TAP controllers contain special autonomous hardware accelerator
mechanisms to greatly increase performance where scan patterns repeat numerous times. This
applies to target download/upload sequence loops, which convey large data blocks. As a result, time
consuming tasks such as flash programming and emulator data transfers are more efficient for a
given clock rate. This mechanism off-loads the host interaction requirements by generating repeated
vectors internally, using host pre-loaded memory information. After host initialization, this mode of
operation results in continuous, maximal scanning rates at all clock frequencies. The only exception
occurs when the target paces the sequence by indicating a non-ready completion of data transfer,
requiring a re-scan of the target’s status. When not in this special autonomous mode, the scan
stream bursts at the programmed TCK rate, as paced by the flow of vector bits from the host.
Another performance enhancement provides hardware expected-value verification of scanned-back
data at programmable chain positions. Thus, the target output stream is evaluated for each TAP
without host intervention and accompanying process delays. This also supports the above
autonomous operation enabling the scanning sequence to loop and rescan until the desired feedback
is supplied, without host intervention.
A programmable, time delay skew compensation mechanism supports the NetUSB-1149.1 family
high clock rates. This accommodates the returned target scan bit delays due to signal travel time
down and up the cables. It can also adjust for a target’s on-board TCK-to-TDO response delay.
An auxiliary feature of the NetUSB-1149.1 family is the target power-shorted detector for two
voltages. With the target un-powered, this mechanism effectively measures the impedance of the
target load for each of two possible connected voltages, determining if a short exists (some
unacceptably low impedance). If this impedance is less than about 1 ohm (about an 11 watt target
or more at 3.3V, for example), it is deemed shorted and reported to the user.

Adjustable Voltage Interface

The software-programmable voltage level of the discrete I/O and TAP interface can be set to any
voltage between 1.25 V and 3.30 V with 0.05V resolution .

Discrete Input/Output Signals

SCSI Connector Direct TAP Port

The NetUSB-1149.1 family offers 3 discrete input and 5 discrete output signals on the SCSI
connector (front panel). They are driven or sensed under host software control, in coordination
with the scanning operation. All of these signals track the software adjustable interface voltage level.

Product Overview 1-5

One of the discrete inputs is designated a FLASH ready/busy handshake input, enabling the direct
(non-scanned) pacing of device programming. This avoids the need to scan in this information,
speeding up the overall process.
One of the discrete outputs is dedicated as an external write pulse signal. This can reduce cycle
times by directly driving (non-scanned) the FLASH device, without the need to scan it out.
The other 4 outputs are generally useful for providing control functions on the user target system
such as reset, power control, and disable/enable signals for non-boundary-scan target devices.
Further, the additional 2 inputs enable host sensing of the target as a pacing method.
If open-collector mode is selected, the external write and two of the general discretes (porta_out0,
and porta_out1) operate that way, while the other two general discrete output will float. Otherwise,
all 5 outputs will operate as adjustable voltage totem-pole.

Built-in or Remote Pod TAP Ports

The NetUSB-1149.1 with an external pod (ScanTAP-x), the NetUSB-1149.1/E with 4 built-in TAP
ports or the NetUSB-1149.1/SE with 8 built-in TAP ports provide 3 discrete bi-directional
input/output signals. These are independently direction steer-able under software control, as well as
capable of open-collector (open-drain) drive operation. Here also, one can function as the FLASH
external write strobe and another as the FLASH ready/busy sense signal, as above, for accelerated
operations.

USB Port Interface

The NetUSB-1149.1 family USB interface complies with the version 2.0 standard with backward
compatibility to version 1.1 (excluding low speed). Speed adjustment is automatic per the standard.
The hot-plug feature of this standard is fully supported such that attachment is easily made to a
running PC, which will automatically sense its presence. For optimal performance, the user is
strongly recommended to utilize a host PC with a USB 2.0 port. This interface serves as one of two
host access points, only one of which operates the controller at a time.

Ethernet Port Interface

This serves as an alternate host access point to the USB interface. The NetUSB-1149.1 family
Ethernet interface supports 10/100baseT with automatic speed switching. It is IEEE 802.3u
100BASE-FX compatible.

RS-232 Serial Maintenance Port Interface

THIS IS FOR FACTORY USE ONLY … As delivered, this port is disabled on all
NetUSB-1149.1 products.
The NetUSB-1149.1 family serial port is provided for trouble shooting purpose only at the factory.
During normal operation, users should not need to access this port. Its connector is a female DB9,
wired with a DTE pin-out. The default communications parameters are 115200 baud, 8 bits, no
parity, 1 stop bit, XON/XOFF flow control. This port should be connected to a PC on COM1
using a NULL modem cable.

Programmable Clocks
The NetUSB-1149.1 family’s programmable TCK output to the IEEE Standard 1149.1 compatible
target system can be generated with a wide range of frequencies using on-board clock generation
circuitry. A programmable Phase Locked Loop (PLL) and counter dividers enable both an agile and
fine resolution set of rates. See Table 1-2 for the set of programmable values.

Other Features of the TAP Ports

Besides the direct target TAP operation, NetUSB-1149.1 (not the NetUSB-1149.1/E or NetUSB-
1149.1/SE) can operate a remote pod, such as the Corelis ScanTAP-x or ScanHUB family. By
special differential signaling methods, and automatic propagation delay compensation, such remote
pods can employ cables up 30 feet in length, with no additional hardware, at full TCK rate
performance.
The 8 TAPs of the NetUSB-1149.1/SE, the 4 TAPs of the NetUSB-1149.1/E, or the remote pod
TAPs driven by the NetUSB-1149.1 can be programmed to daisy-chain sub-sets of the TAP ports
into single chains. During gang (concurrent) TAP operations, all targets can be scanned
simultaneously. While scanning, each TAP returns scanned in information that is compared against
expected patterns for verification and possible mismatch error detection. An unexpected pattern on
any individual TAP will be logged, but need not necessarily stop the scan session for the others.
This method supports rapid FLASH content validation, for example, for a large set of targets.
Failed targets are isolated while the checking the others continues to completion.
The JTAG scanning signals can be programmed to transition at fast or slow rates, although by
default, the software selects this based on requested TCK clock rate. This feature has some

Product Overview 1-7

limitations due to adjustable voltage level and available configurations for discrete I/O lines. This is
offered to aid in system signal noise management.
Another significant feature is that each TAP can detect a target power short to ground for up to 2
voltages per TAP, allowing the ScanTAP-4 to discover potentially damaging conditions before the
target system(s) is powered up.

NetUSB-1149.1 Installation 2-1

Software Installation First!
The installation procedure requires the use of software that contains the driver for the NetUSB-
1149.1 family modules. Obtain the ScanExpress CD-ROM (or any other Corelis application that
supports the NetUSB-1149.1 family) in order to proceed with installation. Install the ScanExpress
Application Software before installing one of the NetUSB-1149.1 controllers. The NetUSB-
1149.1 family controller is a hot-plug USB device, and its drivers are installed with the ScanExpress
Application Software. Windows will automatically recognize and configure the controller the first
time it is detected in your system after the driver is installed. When connected to an Ethernet
network, it becomes visible to all hosts on the system.

WARNING !
You MUST install the software first – before installing the controller. Do not install the either of
the NetUSB-1149.1 modules until you have successfully installed the driver and application
software (ScanExpress, CodeRunner, etc.). Installing the software provides the hot-plug USB
driver for the card so that the operating system is able to properly detect and configure the card.
Installing the controller before the software may result in improper card configuration and
operation.

2-2 NetUSB-1149.1 Installation

Hardware Installation
Again, make sure to install the ScanExpress Application Software before installing either of
the NetUSB-1149.1 controllers. The controller is a hot-plug USB device, and its drivers are
installed with the ScanExpress Application Software. After that, Windows will automatically
recognize and configure the NetUSB-1149.1 the first time it is detected in your system. Windows
XP may issue a warning the first time the module is plugged-in, indicating that the device driver is
not digitally signed by Microsoft. You can safely ignore this warning and continue with the driver
installation.

If an external pod (ScanTAP-4 for example) is to be connected to the Expansion Port, complete the
hook-up at both ends prior to powering up the NetUSB-1149.1.

To connect the relevant NetUSB-1149.1 model controller to the host PC using the USB link:
1. Install ScanExpress Applications from the CD.
2. Only after software is successfully installed, plug the provided USB 2.0 compatible cable and
connect any available USB mating connector on your PC to the NetUSB-1149.1 box.

To install either of the NetUSB-1149.1 controllers on a host PC over the Ethernet link:
1. Install ScanExpress Applications from the CD.
2. Only after software is successfully installed, plug the provided USB 2.0 compatible cable and
connect any available USB mating connector on your PC to the NetUSB-1149.1 box.
3. Start NetUSBConfig.exe which can be found in the installation directories of ScanExpress
Runner, Programmer or Debugger. (By default these applications are installed in the local
hard drive at C:\Program Files\ScanExpress Runner, C:\Program Files\ScanExpress
Programmer, C:\Program Files\ScanExpress Debugger) A dialog box as shown in Figure
2-1 will pop up.
4. Click on the Query button to read the current network configuration.
5. Change the settings as required and click on Configure button to save it. Note that the
controller uses port 6470 when communicating over the network. If the controller is behind
a firewall, make sure to open port 6470.
6. Remove the USB cable from the NetUSB-1149.1 controller. If the cable remains connected,
the controller will not respond to network connection since it defaults to USB connection
first.
7. Power off the unit and power it back on to have the new settings to take effect.

 Figure 2-1. NetUSB-1149.1 Configuration Utility

Preserve the original packing material for future shipment or storage of the controller.
In the event that you installed either of the NetUSB-1149.1 controllers before installing the software,
unplug the module, cancel the Add/Remove Hardware Wizard (that will automatically show up
when you use Windows 2000 or Windows XP operating system) and install the ScanExpress
Applications from the CD. The next time you start the PC and plug in the controller, Windows will
automatically recognize and configure it.

Connecting to the Target

Connecting to the Target

Appendix A contains general recommendation for implementing compatible target TAP
connector(s). Following these recommendations in the target design makes connecting a target to
either of the NetUSB-1149.1 controllers easy and straightforward.
To accommodate target boards with TAP connectors in addition to the above standards, Corelis
offers short, custom adapter cables for third-party connectors such as the Altera ByteBlaster
connector, the Xilinx 9 pin header, the Lattice TAP connector or the TI 14 pin DSP connector).

NetUSB-1149.1

This type of controller attaches to a target (UUT) either via the SCSI to 10 pin cable, or remotely
using an intelligent pod such as a ScanTAP-4 (sold separately). In the case of the external ScanTAP
type pod, multiple targets may be scanned, with the attachment method similar to that of the
NetUSB-1149.1/E below.
For the direct single target attachment of this controller, connect the SCSI to 10-pin TAP cable to
the controller’s SCSI connector. The other end of the cable plugs into the target TAP connector.

NetUSB-1149.1/E

This type of controller connects from one to four targets (UUTs) via its 4 TAP connectors. Using
the provided 20-pin to 10-pin TAP cables, plug into any of connectors on top of the controller
(except for ganged scanning, where they must be consecutive TAP ports). The other end of the
cables attach to the set of targets at their TAP connector. This arrangement is identical to that of
hooking up a remote ScanTAP-4.

NetUSB-1149.1/SE

This type of controller connects from one to eight targets (UUTs) via its set of TAP connectors.
Using the provided 20-pin to 10-pin TAP cables, plug into any of connectors on top of the
controller (except for ganged scanning, where they must be consecutive TAP ports). The other end
of the cables attach to the set of targets at their TAP connector. This arrangement is identical to
that of hooking up a remote ScanTAP-8.

Recommended Target Connectors

10-pin TAP Connector

The Boundary-Scan TAP is a well-defined IEEE-1149.1-compatible electrical interface between
boundary-scan test equipment and the boundary-scan compatible devices in the user’s target board.
Boundary-scan based test equipment, such as the Corelis ScanExpress family of products, utilize a
single TAP to interface to the UUT. This section explains how to design in a simple TAP connector
for your target that is compatible with most standard test equipment.
The cables provided with either model of NetUSB-1149.1 provide a connector compatible with this
standard.
The TAP contains 5 signals: TCK, TMS, TDO, TDI and optionally TRST*. It also contains ground
signal(s). Corelis recommends the standard TAP connector shown in Figure A-1, which is widely
regarded as the industry standard. Note that each signal is terminated with a resistor (discussed
below) in order to improve noise immunity.
The connector on the user’s target should have a standard flat cable compatible pin-out to match the
TAP connector described in Table A-1. Figure A-1 shows the top component-side view of the basic
target 10-pin connector header (0.100 × 0.100 in. spacing):

To support expedited in-circuit programming of flash or microprocessor devices, Corelis
recommends including supplemental control signals in the TAP interface. These will exploit the
Corelis controllers’ advanced methods to accelerate the target device programming session. The
ScanExpress Programmer, for example, can use the added signals of a 16-pin TAP, similar to Figure
A-3, to improve programming time. Cables complying with this topology are available for the
NetUSB-1149.1 family.
This interface adds Write_Strobe*, Ready/Busy*, and additional ground signals to the standard 5-
signal interface. Terminating resistors (see Table) can further improve signal quality.

Figure A-3. Boundary-scan Flash Programming 16-pin TAP Connector (top view)

Corelis’ Flash Programming software supports the external signals Write_Strobe* and Ready/Busy*,
while still offering the standard, but slower, fully scanned out/in signals approach.
The Write_Strobe* signal is active low and should be pulled up with a 1K resistor on the target
board. It needs to be logically OR-ed with the flash Write-Enable (WE*) signal. This way either the
target’s flash Write-Enable (WE*) signal or the controller’s external Write_Strobe* going low will
assert the flash WE* input.
The active low Ready/Busy* signal is typically an open-collector/open-drain signal that ties directly
to the same signal(s) on the Flash device(s). This enables multiple devices to drive it toward either
of the NetUSB-1149.1 controllers.

Self Test Utility Software

The NetUSB-1149.1 family has a self-test utility that can be used to test the card and make sure that
it is fully functional to a high level of confidence. Logic at the TAP connectors can read back data
shifted out on TMS and TDO synchronously with the TCK. Using these signal paths, a host can
test the TAP signals all the way to the connectors, verifying the overall functionality of the system.

Self-Test
The self-test utility is provided for off-line confidence test only and under normal circumstances
there is no need to run the self-test utility software. However, if you suspect that the board is
damaged, you can run the self-test on either of the NetUSB-1149.1 controllers. The self-test utility is
installed on your computer in the same folder where ScanExpress Applications (ScanExpress
Runner, ScanExpress Debugger and ScanExpress Programmer) are installed. Make sure to
disconnect the target TAP cables before running the test.
Using the Windows Explorer, select and run the NetUSB_test.exe file. A pop-up dialog box
should appear as shown in Figure B-1.

Self Test Utility Software B-1

The test consists of 2 parts. Part A is for both NET-1149.1 and NET-1149.1/E. Part B is only for
NET-1149.1/E. Users should run part A and B separately.

Running part A of the test will detect if there is ScanTAP-4 or ScanTAP-8 connected to the
controller (i.e. if the unit is an NetUSB-1149.1/E or NetUSB-1149.1/SE). Click on Test to run the
self-test. Figure B-2 show the result of Self-Test Part A for a NetUSB-1149.1/E or a NetUSB-
1149.1/SE. Part A tests the main JTAG scan engine. Note also that ADC/DAC/Programmable
Voltage test is grayed out. This test is only applicable to a NetUSB-1149.1 unit and is automatically
grayed out if a NetUSB-1149.1/E or NetUSB-1149.1/SE is detected.
