Performing a dummy read ensures that the register write operation is fully completed, mitigating any potential bus delays that could otherwise impact the frequency of bitbang usage. E.g., if the JTAG application uses GPIO to control the JTAG pins (TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO, and TRST), and the application sets the TCK clock to 1 MHz, the GPIO’s high/low transitions will rely on a delay function to ensure the clock frequency does not exceed 1 MHz. However, this can lead to rapid toggling of the GPIO because the write operation is POSTed and does not wait for a bus acknowledgment.
