Abstract
A test-communication path is provided between chips in a multi-chip package. Externally-accessible JTAG input and output pins are provided to a first chip in the multi-chip package, and this first chip is configured to allow signals received on these JTAG pins to be routed to other chips in the multi-chip package. Control signals provided to the first chip control the routing of the JTAG signals to each chip.
