I’m not really sure what this means. The board has a USB JTAG controller on the board. You can connect a Micro USB cable to the PROG/UART to connect to the board via JTAG from e.g. Vivado.

Let us know if this doesn’t answer your question.

Could you please explain, “Micro USB cable to the PROG/UART to connect to the board via JTAG”?. Vivado on PC connected to JTAG controller through USB, JTAG controller output pins connect to the board JTAG port. Is this the board connection.?
