How can I use the Quartus II programmer to program or configure my Altera device on a board in a remote location?

Description

You can program or configure your Altera® device in a remote location using the Quartus® II programmer through your local computer by enabling JTAG over the network. The steps to enable JTAG over the network are described below:

• On the system hosting the programming hardware, open the command prompt (from the "start" menu, click run and type cmd), then enter “jtagconfig --enableremote <password>”
• Identify the host computer name by typing "hostname" on the command prompt.
• On your local computer, open the command prompt and type “jtagconfig --addserver <computer name> <password>
• You will be able to see the programming hardware located on the host computer in the Quartus II programmer running on the local computer.
• For more information on enabling JTAG, type "jtagconfig /?" in the command prompt.
