  1. The easy JTAG is introduced to control Test Access Port(TAP) ( TAP ) by computer parallel port.
  2. The test access port and test logic architecture and protocol of 1149.4 and 1149.1 standards are analyzed, and behavior models for ABM and DBM are put forward.
  3. At last, it implements the programming state machine, which is to realize Firmware programming, in FPGA used VHDL. The state machine successfully produces the test access port scheduling which accords with JTAG protocol interface.
