Thank you for a quick response.How to use JAM STAPL with FTDI FT4232?Ours is a custom board.

Follow the link (https://www.altera.com/support/support-resources/support-centers/devices/programming-tools/jam-stapl/tls-jam-embedded.html) I gave you.

It goes to a basic overview page on how to use the JAM STAPL player in various ways. Then download the software thru the link provided on that page.

You will then need to do some software development (pretty straightforward) to tell the player how to map transitions on TCK/TMS/TDI/TDO to your hardware.

Unfortunately it is not a turnkey solution since you decided to go with a completely custom hardware interface instead of just having a 10p JTAG connector and using a Blaster.
