The AT32UC3C supports programming and debugging through two interfaces, JTAG or aWire
JTAG is an industry standard interface and allows boundary scan for PCB testing, as well as
daisy-chaining of multiple devices on the PCB. aWire is an Atmel proprietary protocol which
offers higher throughput and robust communication, and does not require application pins to be
reserved. Either interface provides access to the internal Service Access Bus (SAB), which
offers a bridge to the High Speed Bus, giving access to memories and peripherals in the device.
By using this bridge to the bus system, the flash and fuses can thus be programmed by access-
ing the Flash Controller in the same manner as the CPU.
The SAB also provides access to the Nexus-compliant On-Chip Debug (OCD) system in the
device, which gives the user non-intrusive run-time control of the program execution. Addition-
ally, trace information can be output on the Auxiliary (AUX) debug port or buffered in internal
RAM for later retrieval by JTAG or aWire.
The AVR32 architecture offers a common interface for access to On-Chip Debug, programming,
and test functions. These are mapped on a common bus called the Service Access Bus (SAB),
which is linked to the JTAG and aWire port through a bus master module, which also handles
synchronization between the debugger and SAB clocks.
When accessing the SAB through the debugger there are no limitations on debugger frequency
compared to chip frequency, although there must be an active system clock in order for the SAB
accesses to complete. If the system clock is switched off in sleep mode, activity on the debugger
will restart the system clock automatically, without waking the device from sleep. Debuggers
may optimize the transfer rate by adjusting the frequency in relation to the system clock. This
ratio can be measured with debug protocol specific instructions.
The Service Access Bus uses 36 address bits to address memory or registers in any of the
slaves on the bus. The bus supports sized accesses of bytes (8 bits), halfwords (16 bits), or
words (32 bits). All accesses must be aligned to the size of the access, i.e. halfword accesses
must have the lowest address bit cleared, and word accesses must have the two lowest address
bits cleared.
The Service Access Bus (SAB) gives the user access to the internal address space and other
features through a 36 bits address space. The 4 MSBs identify the slave number, while the 32
LSBs are decoded within the slave’s address space. The SAB slaves are shown in
on page
