• JTAG Explained (finally!): Why "IoT", Software Security Engineers, and Manufacturers Should Care
• ZooBaB page with several JTAG-related projects

projects

• Tjtag-arduino Use the arduino as a JTAG adaptor with Tjtag
• Arduiggler Arduino based JTAG cable with UrJTAG
• JTAGduino The JTAGduino project has the goal of using Arduino as a JTAG interface
• FUJI Free USB JTAG interface
• JTAGenum (Arduino-based) scans pins for basic JTAG functionality and can be used to enumerate the IR for undocumented opcodes
• JTAGulator open source hardware tool that assists in identifying OCD connections from test points, vias, or component pads on a target device
• jtag-finder mirror
• Black Magic Probe in-application debugging tool using a JTAG or Serial Wire Debugging (SWD) port. Targets ARM Cortex-M and Cortex-A based microcontrollers.
  • HydraBus JTAG/SWD native debugger supported officially in blackmagic github
