Cannot access the JTAG port of Arria10 SoC

There’re two Arria 10 SoCs in my design, the follwoing picture indicates the JTAG chain on board. Chip A and Chip B share the same TCK & TMS. TCK is pulled down to GND and TMS is pulled up to VCCP...

Make sure nCONFIG isn't pulled low - as I think that prevents a valid JTAG ID from being returned (at least, that's what I've experienced in the past).

    Thank you very much for your answer. That might explain the UNKNOW_DEVICE problem, but I'm still wondering why programmer report TDI might be shorted to GND.
