Combining JTAG and AS Configuration Schemes
You can combine the AS configuration scheme with the JTAG-based configuration

). This setup uses two 10-pin download cable headers on the board. One
download cable is used in JTAG mode to configure the Cyclone IV device directly

you try configuring the device using both schemes simultaneously, JTAG
configuration takes precedence and AS configuration terminates.
