Hi,
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.

Thank you for the reply. Indeed, the TSW1400 does have a JTAG header. Sadly, by default, it is not connected. And even more regrettable, I can't change jumpers to access it, I have to do some SMT soldering (remove four 0 ohm resistors, and connect a different four). Ideally, I'd like to stay away from this, as I would rather not make the change, only to change it back when I wanted to use USB (I'd like to use the USB JTAG in the end). Honestly, I'm a little surprised they put a JTAG connector, but didn't use jumpers to switch between the two.
If you're interested, the schematic is here (downloadable zip) (
http://www.ti.com/lit/zip/slac514). According to TI, I would need to install R55, R57, R58, R59, R60 and R129 and remove R61, R62, R63, and R64.
EDIT:
Solved!
For anyone curious, there are multiple ways to generate an .rbf file (the file TI wants you to use to program using their HSDC Pro software). I was going into simulation settings and enabling the .rbf file. This method DOES NOT work. However, after working with TI, the solution was to generate a .sof file, and use the file converter tool (in the File menu) to create an .rbf file. This method does work.
