i need to know how to upgrade the UFM by eliminating the use of JTAG-UART

https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/programmable/us/en/pdfs/literature/hb/max-10/ug_m10_ufm.pdf

You can access the UFM from the device's fabric using the 'On-Chip Flash Intel FPGA IP core'.

Cheers,

Hi,

If you are using Max 10 device then please refer to https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/programmable/us/en/pdfs/literature/hb/max-10/ug_m10_ufm.pdf.

For Max V then please refer to https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/programmable/us/en/pdfs/literature/hb/max-v/mv51007.pdf

Hi,

I would recommend you to use rpd file which you can directly use to write through the On Chip Flash IP. You may refer to https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/programmable/us/en/pdfs/literature/an/an741.pdf where it provide design example to update the UFM/CFM through UART.

Hi,

There is no way to correspond the pof file with rpd file. Both is in different format. POF file is used in Quartus programmer while rpd file is raw binary file. So you can only directly use the rpd file to update the CFM
