JTAG connections for STM32G474 controller

[Nsg1987]

Hello,

I am connecting STM32V2 debugger at following pins. 

 

This supports SWD. I want to use JTAG pins and want to use STM32V2 debugger as a JTAG connection for debugging purpose.

 

can you support me how to connect or which pins to be used and what is the procedure to change from SWD to JTAG mode?

 

Regards,

Nikhil

Do you mean ST-Link V2 ?

Note that this does support SWD.

That will all be in the Datasheet; see also the Reference Manual - both available on the 'Documentation' tab of the Product Page:

I used the pins for JTAG as below. 

But i am getting below error .

Can you let me know how to solve the error and connect the JTAG?

That's just the complete pinout list for the ST-Link - so doesn't really tell us anything.

Show your schematic with how you connect the ST-Link to the chip.

Can you connect over SWD ?

Why is it that you require JTAG rather than SWD?

Hello @Andrew Neil 

Below is the connection diagram between ST-LinkV2 and MCU.

SWD connection works fine but we have observation that when MCU is in debugging mode and MCU is generating PWM pulses for power circuit, the moment power circuit starts to draw the power, MCU comes out of the debugging and we are not able to watch the various parameters in watch window. Hence, we would like to go with JTAG and want to debug the code during power circuit in operation.

 

Thanks,

Nikhil

Looks right - apart from the switch:

Are you sure you have the correct pin numbers for the MCU?

What makes you think that JTAG won't suffer the same effect?

Sounds like you have an underlying EMC issue which needs addressing ...

Or there's some conflicting pin usage?

Also watch out for low power modes or brown out. Perhaps get visibility of the NRST line on a scope?

Hello @Andrew Neil & @Tesla DeLorean 

In order to avoid conflict of pins, we tried to use JTAG connector of B-G474 evaluation board. The CN1 connector of B-G474 board is connected to JTAG connector of ST-Link V3 debugger. 

 

we took care of shorting SB28 solder bridge and to remove R89 to use CN1 as a JTAG of B-G474 board.

ST-Link V3 JTAG

To our surprise, we are still getting above error.

Here we made sure that the JTAG pins of B-G474 is not conflicting with any other.

Again, you're only showing one end of the connection - both ends need to be correct for the connection to work!

Are you sure you're using the correct cable?

You still haven't said why you want JTAG when SWD works fine?

[Nsg1987]

Is there any other way to do so.

Right now we are using SWD only. but it is observed that the MCU comes out of the debugging mode once the system starts to draw the power. Hence we want to try the same scenario with JTAG connections.
