Mictor Connector (J20)

The Mictor connector (J20) can be used to transmit up to 27 high-speed
I/O signals with very low noise via a shielded Mictor cable. J20 is used as
a debug port. Twenty-five of the Mictor connector signals are used as
data, and two signals are used as clock input and clock output.

Most pins on J20 connect to I/O pins on the Stratix II device (U18). For
systems that do not use the Mictor connector for debugging the Nios II
processor, any on-chip signals can be routed to I/O pins and probed at
J20 via a Mictor cable. External scopes and logic analyzers can connect to
J20 and analyze a large number of signals simultaneously.
