You can communicate through the JTAG interface using the JTAG UART, but you need the Altera JTAG driver stack installed on the PC to use the respective DLLs. There's also a second link, that enables the access method used in previous Terasic Dev Kits. It can work on the generic FTDI driver without the Altera stack.

It's a kind of serial Altera Forum topic.
