Hi,

I recently went through a similar exercise with the TSW14J56 board, which contains an Arria V.

The TSW1400 has a JTAG header, so I'd recommend starting by using that. The TSW14J56 has a similar setup, and you just need to change some jumpers to enable the use of the JTAG interface.

Once I had a design working over JTAG, I confirmed I could also load the .rbf over their USB-to-Serial interface. However, I want to use SignalTap II and the Transceiver Toolkit, and these interfaces require using JTAG, so I'm using that interface for now.

Cheers,

Dave
