No, all FPGA JTAG pins are dedicated pins that can't be driven from logic.

There are some JTAG signals on the HSMC connector, but they can only be used to add something to the board's JTAG chain. This means that your second boards would only be configurable by the kit's integrated USB blaster or JTAG connector.
In your case, you would need to write a custom IP to read the programming file and regenerate JTAG signals. You could then use regular I/Os from the HSMC connector and connect them to the second board's JTAG header.- Mark as New
