The debug port is the host tools interface to access the DAP-Lite. This interface controls any access ports provided within the DAP-Lite. The DAP-Lite supports a combined debug port which includes both JTAG and Serial Wire Debug (SWD), with a mechanism that supports switching between them:
The JTAG-DP is based on the IEEE 1149.1 Test Access Port (TAP) and Boundary Scan Architecture, widely referred to as JTAG, and provides a JTAG interface to the DAP. For more information, see JTAG-DP,
The SW-DP provides a two-pin (clock + data) interface to the DAP-Lite. For more information, see SW-DP.
The SWJ-DP provides the auto-detect logic that selects between JTAG and SWD. This enables the JTAG-DP and SW-DP to share the same pins. For more information, see SWJ-DP.
Only one debug port can be used at once, and switching between the two debug ports must only be performed when neither debug port is in use.
