Stratix III DSP kit: When HSMC card is connected, JTAG Chain can't be accessed

--- Quote Start ---

So my Data Conversion card works fine; I just needed to enable the HSMA_BYPASS on SW1 (set to 1). As far as I can tell, the DSP kit User Guide says that the HSMA_BYPASS should be set to 0, so perhaps that is a typo in the Guide.

I was confused by different versions of the DSP kit guide and now think I understand what are the desired positions for the SW1 on the Stratix III Dev board to use the HSMC card: FPGA_BYPASS = 1, HSMA_BYPASS = 0, HSMB_BYPASS = 0, MAX_ENABLE = 0.

Those settings allow me to run the DSP example design discussed in the DSP Kit Getting Started User Guide. Those settings are consistent with the settings described on page 4-5, Table 4-2 of this guide: https://www.altera.co.jp/ja_jp/pdfs/literature/ug/ug_stratixiii_dsp_dev_kit.pdf,

but are not consistent with Table A-2 on page A-1 of this guide: http://www.kanecomputing.co.uk/pdfs/altera%20dsp%20dev%20kit%20getting%20started%20user%20guidei.pdf

So that's a good note to self to watch out for alternative versions of the guides.
