FPGA Programming over External USB-Blaster
The JTAG programming header provides another method for configuring the FPGA
using an external USB-Blaster device with the Quartus II Programmer running on a
PC. The external USB-Blaster connects to the board through the JTAG connector (J5).
Both FPGAs and the MAX II devices are always in the JTAG chain.
