Hi, i am checking IPMB Supported MCU(MMC) Which should able to communicate with BMC Please advice

As you probably know, JTAG was originally developed for testing boards/assemblies, and debugging was added later. In your case you need a JTAG host to access a JTAG slave, which is usually not implemented in microcontrollers.

To answer your questions: The JTAG port can only be used for debugging and testing the STM32. You could try implementing a JTAG host with bit banging, but it's not an easy task.

Good luck!

Welcome, @MKuma.9, to the community!

IPMB is based on I2C, so basically all STM32 are able to communicate with a BMC.

Hello Peter,

Thank You,

Is there any example software is available for same ?

If you want to communicate with a BMC via I2C, you should know its protocol so that you can write the software for the communication yourself.

Can you suggest Any MCU With JTAG.

Almost all STM32 offer a JTAG interface if the number of pins allows.

With supported JTAG Is it possible access external SoC JTAG ? Or its only for MCU Debugging purpose ?

My application is used to access SoC JTAG from BMC Through MMC By using IPMB-I2C.
