What do you connect the user I/O of the master to internally? If you
try using the JTAG on the master it will control the master, no?

Slave FPGAs connects to USER I/O ports. for example:
TMS of salve FPGA chip connects to user i/o pin CC
TDI of slave FPGA chip connects to user i/0 pin VRP
TCK of slave FPGA ship connects to user i/o pin CC

Hi, i am also doing same thing and also have same question )))). I think fi=
rst need program master FPGA and then normal masters JTAG can be used as JT=
AG for other tributary fpgas . may be/

The JTAG signals to the master chip, do they connect to general I/Os as
well as to the FPGA JTAG signals? Or just JTAG or just I/Os?
You didn't say where you expect the data to come from to program the
chained slave FPGAs. Is it supposed to come from the main JTAG port as
if it was talking to the slave chain? Or will the master FPGA have a
separate interface from an MCU or a Flash chip?
What is your overall plan?

Why do you want the master FPGA to control the others rather than
loading them all in one chain? Connect all TMS and TCK lines in
parallel and connect all TDI and TDO in one big daisy chain. If the
slave FPGAs are loaded by the master, where will the data come from?
