(CRL guys, please keep me honest here. I don't know your hardware as
well as you do. =)

The JTAG TAP is not customer-accessible on the H3600 series, as far as I
know.

I don't know what else is in the JTAG loop on the iPAQ besides the
StrongARM, but you can find the SA-1110 scan cell definitions in the
BSDL file available from Intel's developer web site. I don't believe any
of the JTAG signals traverse either the cradle (serial) connector or the
backpack connector; at most you would be able to access the boundary
scan interface on the SA-1110 (and possibly some programmable logic
devices, if any).

IDE on SA-1110 machines is often implemented over the PCMCIA interface
(e.g., Microdrive). There is no "IDE controller," per se. In any event,
JTAG and IDE do wildly different things; your question implies that one
could be a substitute for the other. (?)

Any recent ARM Linux kernel will include a core IDE driver which
implements the base protocol. This, combined with the IDE Card Services
wrapper (ide-cs) and the SA-1100 PCMCIA driver, should provide an
example of how to set up and use the memory interface.

You sent this exact message 19 hours ago.
