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

Yes, it is normal.

We can program FPGA without JTAG UART core.

To see the message from embedded software on the console we required JTAG UART.
