Program CPLD from Cyclone IV on BeMicro board

Thanks for the quick reply! Just to clarify, in your suggested solution, the Jrunner-like software runs on the PC, talking to the virtual JTAG such that it effectively programs the CPLD, right?

What about porting Jrunner to run on the NIOS, strapping it directly through the appropriate GPIOs? This eliminates the need for the virtual JTAG, right? Though of course it means you have to get the programming files over to the NIOS somehow...

Or, third option: that hardware hacking is sounding better and better...

Thanks for the help,
