Idcode Instruction

Idcode is the instruction to select the Identification register between TDI and TDO, preparatory to loading the internally-held 32-bit identification code and reading it out through TDO. The 32 bits are used to identify the manufacturer of the device, its part number and its version number.

Usercode Instruction

Usercode selects the same 32-bit register as Idcode, but allows an alternative 32 bits of identity data to be loaded and serially shifted out. This instruction is used for dual-personality devices, such as Complex Programmable Logic Devices and Field Programmable Gate Arrays.
