The JTAG boundary-scan mechanism (referred to in this chapter as JTAG mechanism) allows testing of the connections between the processor, the printed circuit board to which it is attached, and the other components on the circuit board.

In addition, the JTAG mechanism provides rudimentary capability for low-speed logical testing of the secondary cache RAM. The JTAG mechanism does not provide any capability for testing the processor itself.
