FvM didn't mean parallel data, he meant with parallel bus connections to both the FPGA and processor. JTAG has multiple benefits including easy programming, debug using SignalTap, etc. If you need a board spin, it would really help if you could get that in there. As to your specific question, the Configuration Handbook shows the waveforms necessary to program the device. Sorry, I can't post the link but it's Volume 2, Chapter 3.
