Diagnostic Pin Consideration

TDI, TCK and TDO are not available for pin assignment in the Pin
Editor.

You do not need to specify an internal pull-up resistor; SE II
automatically configures TMS and TDI with internal pull-up resistors.
Flexible JTAG
Mode
When you do not select the “Reserve JTAG Pin” box, you place the
FPGA in
Flexible JTAG mode , where TDI, TCK and TDO pins may
function as user I/Os or JTAG pins. When you select Flexible JTAG
mode, you disable the internal pull-up resistors on the TMS and TDI
pins. Note that you require an external 10K Ohm pull-up resistor on
the TMS pin in this mode (Figure A-9).
Silicon Explorer II transforms TDI, TCK and TDO pins from user I/Os
into JTAG diagnostic pins when a rising edge at TCK is detected while
TMS is at logical low. The JTAG pins revert to user I/Os when the JTAG
state machine is in the Test-Logic reset state.
