What kind of JTAG this board is using?

AFAIK there isn't a JTAG connector pin-out standard. Although the 10-pin configuration used by Altera on the USB Blaster is quite common among different manufacturers, I've also seen some 6 pin variations. You should be able to use it with a USB blaster but you will need to make an adapter cable to connect the different signals to the correct pins.
