If you’ve ever worked with MIPS-based SoCs (System on Chips)—think old routers, gaming consoles like the PlayStation 2, or even certain automotive microcontrollers—you have likely encountered the term EJTAG (Enhanced JTAG). While standard JTAG is great for boundary scan, EJTAG adds processor-level debug and trace capabilities. ARM Architectures : Supports ARM7/9 cores
