Hi Marek,
your patch goes in the right direction, but I think there is a mistake.

You compare the JTAG idcode with 0x1ba00477.
This value belongs to ARM debug port, not to TI or Freescale devices.

Please check ARM documentation
http://infocenter.arm.com/help/topic/com.arm.doc.ddi0314h/DDI0314H_coresight_components_trm.pdf
at pages 2-27 and 2-28 regarding the IDCODE.
Also, "grep 00477" in openocd code, and you will find many devices
with same JTAG idcode or just different version.

So, even with your patch, we can still confuse some device with the
broken imx51.

In the same document from ARM, in table 2-6 page 2-26, there is the
list of DAP registers.
One register could be interesting for your purpose, TARGETID, that I
expect has a unique idcode from the device manufacturer.
But, the document reports it is available in SW-DP only, not in JTAG-DP.

I have no idea what could be the right check to run.

Antonio Borneo

Sorry Jon, I skipped your message since not involved in the subject.

I partially agree with Peter. The transistor can be used as a valid
voltage level shifter.

I've just checked the schematic of Flyswatter adapter. The nSRST part
is common with many JTAG adapters.
The main reason for using the transistor in these circuits is to build
a "wired AND".
Wikipedia does not have a valid description for "wired AND" circuit,
but a reasonable one is available in
http://tams-www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/applets/hades/webdemos/00-intro/03-stdlogic/wired-and.html

On the target board, nSRST can have many sources, e.g.:
- reset button
- watchdog circuit
- power-good detector
- JTAG
All such sources have to be combined together in a single nSRST signal.
The role is: nSRST is high when all the reset sources are high too,
equivalent to the behaviour of the "AND" gate
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AND_gate
In this case, "wired AND" is a good replacement for the AND gate.

All the reset sources must have "open collector" output ("open drain"
in case of CMOS devices). It means their output can only be either at
low level or left floating.
On the target board there must be one passive pull-up, a resistor to
Vcc, that provides the high level when all the sources are floating.

Antonio Borneo

This stuff was there ever since I believe. I might dig in later ... I hope it's 
still connected ? :)
