The Stratix device’s JTAG pins can also be accessed via the Mictor
connector (J25). The pins of J24 are connected directly to pins on J25, and
care must be taken so that signal contention does not occur between the
two connectors.

J5 connects to the JTAG pins (TCK, TDI, TDO, TMS, TRST) of the
EPM7128AE device (U3). Altera Quartus II software can perform in-
