Honored Contributor --- Quote Start --- What is the reason for putting PCIe into JTAG chain in Cyclone IV GX Starter Kit and similar schematics? --- Quote End --- If you look at the schematic, you'll see that the PCIe JTAG signals actually connect through a bus switch, so the diagram is incorrect (it shows the MAX II connected to the PCIe). The implementation could allow a PCIe JTAG master to access the board JTAG chain. However, I've never seen a motherboard that provided JTAG access to PCIe slots, so its rarely used. Cheers, Dave
