Board Components & Interfaces
RS-232 Serial Interface
Board reference J12 is a DB-9 connector wired as an RS-232 serial DTE
device. U12 shifts the RS-232 signals to LVTTL levels for connection to the
Cyclone II device.
AS Interface
Board connector J11 provides active serial programming to the EPCS64
device using an Altera USB-Blaster
™ cable.
JTAG
Board connector J8 provides access to the board’s JTAG port using a
USB-Blaster cable.
SignalTap II Logic Analyzer
The JTAG debug interface can also be used for the Altera SignalTap II
logic analyzer.

For more information on the SignalTap II logic analyzer, refer to the
Design Debugging Using the SignalTap II Embedded Logic Analyzer chapter
in volume 3 of the Quartus II Handbook.
Mictor Probe
Board connector J4 is a Mictor header that provides probing capability for
internal Cyclone II device signals. The Mictor probe is compatible with
the Agilent Technologies E5346A Probe Adapter for use with Agilent
Technologies Logic Analyzers. The PROTO1 connector signals are shared
with the Mictor probe and Altera daughter card interfaces, and the
signals on the Mictor header (J4) are shared with the Altera daughter card
signals (J1, J6, and J7).
Use the SignalProbe ™ incremental routing feature to route internal
Cyclone II signals to the J4 connector. You do not need to recompile the
Cyclone II device design to use the SignalProbe feature.

Design Debugging Using Signal Probe chapter in volume 3 of the Quartus II
Handbook.
