Can I use USB Blaster w/ Cyclone 10 LP Eval Kit?

I am trying to connect USB Blaster to Cyclone 10 LP eval kit directly. Is it possible? i cannot connect to the EPCQ device.

Thank you for the response.

I connected a USB blaster to J2 and scanned the chain. I see two devices - the FPGA and a virtual device. I didn't see the CPLD on the chain, which led me to suspect that there is a separate JTAG chain for it. I think I also figured out the EPCQ already.

Is there a way to eliminate the virtual device from the chain?

Hi AZeli,

Yes, can eliminate the virtual device from the chain using DIP switch SW1.

SW1.4 Logic 0 = Vitual JTAG Bypass

Logic 1 = Vitual JTAG Enable
