technically, you can write to onboard registers, and even read from
them, just as you can use the boundry scan to program the flash memory.
Anything in the CPU is "offlimits" however (as well as anything outside
the timing constaints of the boundry scan interface, ie, DRAM). I know
an unfortunate coder that has a board where the flash write enable is an
io line on the sa1111. To write to the flash with jtag, the sa1111 needs
to be initialized though jtag...eww...
