The Nintendo Switch mainboard has a series of testpads on the front and back, presumably used in factory test, diagnostics, and early board bringup procedures.

The JTAG pins are multiplexed between NV_JTAG and ARM_JTAG by the TRST pin:

  • NV_JTAG contains a single TAP (ID 0x221173D7) for boundary scan board verification.
  • ARM_JTAG contains two debugging TAPs for CoreSight (ID 0x5BA00477) and BPMP (ID 0x4F1F0F0F).

Note: NV_JTAG and ARM_JTAG are locked out by FUSE_ARM_JTAG_DIS on production devices.
