Distinguish if a FPGA image was loaded from flash or directly to the FPGA via JTAG

Hi fellows, is there a way to distinguish, if a FPGA image was loaded from the external flash or it was downloaded via JTAG? I would like to implement the differentiation in my FPGA logic. So...

    Hi,


    You can distinguish them by checking the MSEL status on the board.

Thank you both!

@FvM indeed the RSU provides such a register to distinguish. However, as far as I looked into it, it seems that it only allows to distinguish between the factory and application image. I have to double check the register, when loading an image including the RSU directly via JTAG to the FPGA.

@NurAiman_M_Intel Thank you, this looks promising.

Best Regards,
