Hello All, Finlay we have got our boards and started testing them out... We were able to successfully Detect the Cyclone 3 120 chip and run Jtag Debug tests, but not been able to configure the ...

17 years agoAs said, it's not according to the Altera schematics to connect nCE at the JTAG header. It's only used in the direct AS programming configuration. But I don't expect, that it would disturb JTAG operation. Apart from this point, the circuit seems correct.
Using 2.5V versus 3.0 or 3.3V for the JTAG interface is basically a question of avoiding overshoots at the FPGA, JTAG operation, including device configuration should be still possible. As you observed DCLK activity, deactivation of the on-board configuration controller should stop it.
