What is the difference between JTAG uart and the uart (RS-232) serial ?

I know the use of UART RS 232 for transmitting serial data, but JTAG ? and I can see most of designs are using JTAG on Qsys not RS-232 . thanks in advance

Great,

when I want to connect my kit to the computer and I want to use Qsys, should the JTAG UART core be added to the embedded system, Although I am using usb blaster and when I use Qsys and build an embedded system, and download it to the board , I do not add any UART interface with the Embedded system created in Qsys. Is this normal ?
