5.3.2. JTAG Mode

The JTAG Switch implemented in the Intel® MAX® 10 System Control (U11) allows the selection of the device(s) to be included in the JTAG chain. It is done by the settings of the DIP switch SW33. The embedded Intel® FPGA Download Cable (or external Intel® FPGA Download Cable) or PCIe* JTAG can be selected as the source for programming the device(s) on the chain. The embedded Intel® FPGA Download Cable is the default setting for this configuration mode.

The on-board Intel® FPGA Download Cable is implemented in a Intel® MAX® 10 device. A micro-USB connector connecting to a CY7C68013A USB2 PHY provides the data to Intel® MAX® 10 device. This allows you to configure the FPGA using a USB cable, which is directly connected to a host PC running Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software without requiring the external Intel® FPGA Download Cable.

You can also use the external Intel® FPGA Download Cable on J2 to configure the FPGA.
