Remote JTAG access with custom hardware server

Hi,

I am looking for a solution to implement custom remote debugging of intel FPGA.

I have been made myself familiar with below possibilities.

  • Remote PC (Quartus Prime ; Hardware setting as TCP/IP client)
  • Target PC (Quartus Prime ; Hardware setting as TCP/IP Server), connected with INTEL FPGA hardware using INTEL USB blaster.

also, Remote FPGA Debug for Stratix 10 | Documentation | RocketBoards.org ; here JTAG over IP has been described, what I need is pure JTAG signals as output, which can be connected to any INTEL FPGA.

Xilinx has XVC protocol which converts TCP/IP packets into JTAG data.

Does Intel have any similar protocol which can be used to to create custom server without using INTEL SoC or Intel Hard processor , JTAG over IP.

My goal :

  • Remote PC (Quartus Prime ; Hardware setting as client)
  • Target system ; Microcontroller with ethernet(TCP/IP server) and connected with INTEL FPGA hardware using JTAG(GPIO of microcontroller ).

I want to replace PC with Quartus Prime ; Hardware setting as TCP/IP Server +INTEL USB blaster with Microcontroller with Ethernet(TCP/IP server) + Software witch convert TCP/IP data to JTAG(GPIO of microcontroller) .

Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
