XJTAG 4.1 can automatically generate test reset sequences for many more hardware designs than previous versions.

Previously, if a JTAG device had an nTRST pin that needed resetting between tests, you had to manually create a sequence with a waveform like the following:

Now, this is no longer necessary. On the Pin Mapping tab, simply assign the pin connected to the nTRST signal an nTRST type, matching the number with the other JTAG signals on the device:

A test reset sequence called Built-In (nTRST) will then be created automatically and assigned to the appropriate subchain:

The Pulse nTRST step will drive the relevant nTRST, TMS and TCK signals as in the waveform above, which should be sufficient to reset most devices. If you need any extra steps in the sequence, such as a sleep, you can also include the Pulse nTRST step in a manually-created sequence:

These changes should greatly simplify the process of setting up your project for testing.
