v29->v30
- Change ABI documentation to reStructuredText (rst) format.
Comments pointed by Paul Fertser
- SRST added to documentation.
- Remove call flow as it was confusing.
- Replaced unsiged int for signed int on file descriptors.
- Specify frq for SIOCFREQ and GIOCFREQ in Hertz.
- Remvoed usleep that was not used on examples.
- Documented padding.

v28->v29
Comments pointed by Steven Filary <steven.a.filary at intel.com>
- Expand bitbang function to accept multiples bitbang operations within
  a single JTAG_IOCBITBANG call. It will receive a buffer with TDI and
  TMS values and it is expected that driver fills TDO fields with its
  corresponding output value for every transaction.

v27->v28
Comments pointed by Steven Filary <steven.a.filary at intel.com>
- Replace JTAG_IOCRUNTEST with JTAG_SIOCSTATE adding support for all
  TAPC end states in SW mode using a lookup table to navigate across
  states.
- Add support for simultaneous READ/WRITE
transfers(JTAG_READ_WRITE_XFER).
- Support for switching JTAG controller mode between target and host
  controller mode.
- Setup JTAG controller mode to host controller only when the driver
  is opened, letting other HW to own the JTAG bus when it isn't in use.
- Include JTAG bit bang IOCTL for low level JTAG control usage
  (JTAG_IOCBITBANG).

+Description:
+		The misc device files /dev/jtag* are the interface
+		between JTAG controller interface and userspace.
+
+		The ioctl(2)-based ABI is defined and documented in
+		[include/uapi]<linux/jtag.h>.
+
+		The following file operations are supported:
+
+		open(2)
+		Opens and allocates file descriptor.
+
+		ioctl(2)
+		Initiate various actions.
+		See the inline documentation in [include/uapi]<linux/jtag.h>

+Introduction to JTAG
+====================
+
+JTAG is an industry standard for verifying hardware. JTAG provides access to
+many logic signals of a complex integrated circuit, including the device pins.
+
+A JTAG interface is a special interface added to a chip.
+Depending on the version of JTAG, two, four, or five pins are added.
+
+The connector pins are:
+ * TDI (Test Data In)
+ * TDO (Test Data Out)
+ * TCK (Test Clock)
+ * TMS (Test Mode Select)
+ * TRST (Test Reset) optional
+
+JTAG interface is designed to have two parts - basic core driver and
+hardware specific driver. The basic driver introduces a general interface
+which is not dependent of specific hardware. It provides communication
+between user space and hardware specific driver.
+Each JTAG device is represented as a char device from (jtag0, jtag1, ...).
+Access to a JTAG device is performed through IOCTL calls.
+
+Call flow example:
+::
+
+	User: open  -> /dev/jatgX -> JTAG core driver -> JTAG hardware specific driver
+	User: ioctl -> /dev/jtagX -> JTAG core driver -> JTAG hardware specific driver
+	User: close -> /dev/jatgX -> JTAG core driver -> JTAG hardware specific driver

+==================
+JTAG userspace API
+==================
+JTAG controller devices can be accessed through a character misc-device.
+
+Each JTAG controller interface can be accessed by using /dev/jtagN.
+
+JTAG system calls set:
+ * SIR (Scan Instruction Register, IEEE 1149.1 Instruction Register scan);
+ * SDR (Scan Data Register, IEEE 1149.1 Data Register scan);
+ * RUNTEST (Forces the IEEE 1149.1 bus to a run state for a specified number of clocks.
+
+open(), close()
+---------------
+Open/Close  device:
+::
+
+	jtag_fd = open("/dev/jtag0", O_RDWR);
+	close(jtag_fd);
+
+ioctl()
+-------
+All access operations to JTAG devices are performed through ioctl interface.
+The IOCTL interface supports these requests:
+::

+	JTAG_SIOCSTATE - Force JTAG state machine to go into a TAPC state
+	JTAG_SIOCFREQ - Set JTAG TCK frequency
+	JTAG_GIOCFREQ - Get JTAG TCK frequency
+	JTAG_IOCXFER - send/receive JTAG data Xfer
+	JTAG_GIOCSTATUS - get current JTAG TAP state
+	JTAG_SIOCMODE - set JTAG mode flags.
+	JTAG_IOCBITBANG - JTAG bitbang low level control.
+	JTAG_SIOCTRST - Set TRST pin for JTAG.
+
+JTAG_SIOCFREQ
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Set JTAG clock speed:
+::
+
+	unsigned int jtag_fd;
+	ioctl(jtag_fd, JTAG_SIOCFREQ, &frq);
+
+JTAG_GIOCFREQ
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Get JTAG clock speed:
+::
+
+	unsigned int jtag_fd;
+	ioctl(jtag_fd, JTAG_GIOCFREQ, &frq);
+
+JTAG_SIOCSTATE
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Force JTAG state machine to go into a TAPC state

+
+	struct jtag_tap_state {
+		__u8	reset;

+		__u8	endstate;
+		__u32	tck;
+	};
+
+reset: one of below options
+::
+
+	JTAG_NO_RESET - go through selected endstate from current state
+	JTAG_FORCE_RESET - go through TEST_LOGIC/RESET state before selected endstate
+
+endstate: any state listed in jtag_tapstate enum
+::
+
+	enum jtag_tapstate {
+		JTAG_STATE_TLRESET,
+		JTAG_STATE_IDLE,
+		JTAG_STATE_SELECTDR,
+		JTAG_STATE_CAPTUREDR,
+		JTAG_STATE_SHIFTDR,
+		JTAG_STATE_EXIT1DR,
+		JTAG_STATE_PAUSEDR,
+		JTAG_STATE_EXIT2DR,
+		JTAG_STATE_UPDATEDR,
+		JTAG_STATE_SELECTIR,
+		JTAG_STATE_CAPTUREIR,
+		JTAG_STATE_SHIFTIR,
+		JTAG_STATE_EXIT1IR,
+		JTAG_STATE_PAUSEIR,
+		JTAG_STATE_EXIT2IR,
+		JTAG_STATE_UPDATEIR
+	};
+
+tck: clock counter
+
+Example:
+::
+
+	struct jtag_tap_state tap_state;
+
+	tap_state.endstate = JTAG_STATE_IDLE;
+	tap_state.reset = 0;
+	tap_state.tck = data_p->tck;
+	usleep(25 * 1000);
+	ioctl(jtag_fd, JTAG_SIOCSTATE, &tap_state);
+
+JTAG_GIOCSTATUS
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Get JTAG TAPC current machine state
+::
+
+	unsigned int jtag_fd;

+from: jtag_tapstate enum representing the initial tap state of the chain before xfer.
+
+endstate: end state after transaction finish any of jtag_tapstate enum
+
+padding: padding configuration. See the following table with bitfield descriptions.
