I'm no expert on MIPS here, but quite familiar with ARM's world.
Normally, JTAG doesn't depend on any BIOS running. But that may depend
hardly on the actual SoC. Maybe there is some mechanism preventing
access or pin multiplexing options need to be set.

My guess is that the BIOS brings up the SDRAM controller in the chip, so
that after running you can access the SDRAM. But without the BIOS
running, YOU need to setup the SDRAM controller yourself (through system
peripheral accesses over JTAG). And that absolutely depends on your SoC
and the connected SDRAM.

Cheers,
Manuel
