To use this interface, user needs to configure the JTAG interface on the HSMC interface host board. For
example, the steps of controlling the Cyclone III start board using Mictor interface is shown below:
1. Connecting the THDB-H2S board to the Cyclone III Start Board.
2. Removing the jumpers of JP1 and JP2 of the Cyclone III Start Board to connect the JTAG interface
between Cyclone III FPGA and the THDB-H2S board.
3. Short the TDI and TDO pins of the JTAG connector(J4), as shown in Figure 3.7
4. Disable the built-in USB blaster by shorting JP8 on the Cyclone III Starter Board
The above FOUR steps will make a closed JTAG chain as shown in Figure 3.8
