IEEE Std. 1149.1 (JTAG) Boundary Scan Support
Cyclone II devices also use the JTAG port to monitor the logic operation
of the device with the SignalTap® II embedded logic analyzer. Cyclone II
devices support the JTAG instructions shown in Table 3–1.

JTAG Instruction Instruction Code
SAMPLE/PRELOAD 00 0000 0101
Description
Allows a snapshot of signals at the device pins to be captured and
examined during normal device operation, and permits an initial
data pattern to be output at the device pins. Also used by the
SignalTap II embedded logic analyzer.
Allows the external circuitry and board-level interconnects to be
tested by forcing a test pattern at the output pins and capturing test
results at the input pins.
EXTEST (1)
BYPASS
00 0000 1111
11 1111 1111
00 0000 0111
Places the 1-bit bypass register between the TDIand TDOpins,
which allows the BST data to pass synchronously through selected
devices to adjacent devices during normal device operation.
USERCODE
Selects the 32-bit USERCODEregister and places it between the
TDIand TDOpins, allowing the USERCODEto be serially shifted
out of TDO.
IDCODE
00 0000 0110
00 0000 1011
Selects the IDCODEregister and places it between TDIand TDO,
allowing the IDCODEto be serially shifted out of TDO.
HIGHZ (1)
Places the 1-bit bypass register between the TDIand TDOpins,
which allows the BST data to pass synchronously through selected
devices to adjacent devices during normal device operation, while
tri-stating all of the I/O pins.
CLAMP (1)
00 0000 1010
Places the 1-bit bypass register between the TDIand TDOpins,
which allows the BST data to pass synchronously through selected
devices to adjacent devices during normal device operation while
holding I/O pins to a state defined by the data in the boundary-scan
register.
Used when configuring a Cyclone II device via the JTAG port with
a USB Blaster™, ByteBlaster™ II, MasterBlaster™ or
ByteBlasterMV™ download cable, or when using a Jam File or JBC
File via an embedded processor.

PULSE_NCONFIG
00 0000 0001
Emulates pulsing the nCONFIGpin low to trigger reconfiguration
even though the physical pin is unaffected.
