I think that is a security thing.
If you can enable JTAG, you can read out the contents.
If I really want to protect that, I would cut the pins.
If you really want to copy the content, you would remove the chip and
go for parallel probe anyway.
The parallel programming will allow you to erase the chip, but not read it
out.
High Voltage Serial programming is available on some devices.
When you do a full chip erase you can erase the JTAG disable so you can
use:
* High Voltage Parallel programming: (That is difficult to use for
most
customers)
* ISP.
Exactly, especially when it's difficult to isolate port B and D
in-circuit.
I would suggest a simple chip erase mode (+12V to VCC and RESET) to
erase the chip and put it back into factory defaults.
