JTAG Interface
The board provides a right-angle, 10-pin JTAG header. The JTAG header
protrudes through the front panel of the PCIe card, which positions it well
for internal accessibility while the box is closed. Pin 1 is located on the
side nearest the SFP connectors.
The JTAG header can be used for JTAG-based FPGA programming as
well as communication to a standard computer using a USB-Blaster
download cable. The default USB-Blaster driver that Quartus II software
installs for JTAG programming and SignalTap debugging.
