CPU instead of USB-Blaster

Moin, On my design i have a CyclonII (2C35), which normally gets its config from a EPCS16. Programming the EPCS16 can be done by USB-Blaster via the the 2C35. So far no problem. In additio...

to indirectly program the serial configuration device using the same JTAG

interface that is used to configure the FPGA.
