Hi AKAYA, Maybe you can try Remote System Update (RSU). https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/programmable/us/en/pdfs/literature/ug/ug_altremote.pdf In RSU, you will have Factory Image & Application Image. You can have Application Image as many as you want (depends on your Flash size). Then you able to control which Image (projects) you want FPGA to load (it work like switch, you can choose which Image you want to load). And you can update the new image into flash without need to stop the FPGA. Thus, making it a continuous flow. “we can dumb one .pof file and then read another .rpd file in UFM” For you case, you need some time to dumb one .pof file (FPGA stop working for a while to erase). And you also need some time to read the rpd file to you FPGA. This will also create a continuous flow, but not efficient as RSU. Thanks

    thanks for the reply....

    actually the problem am facing is that the UFM can read the same application file.

    but, in my case the application file(.rpd file) is different from the source file. once u dumb the .pof file then it should be in such a state that the it can read any application file(.rpd file).

    for CFM it works properly, but for the UFM it doesnot read any application file as such. it can read only the corresponding application file.

    can you just suggest any idea?

    please reply..... its urgent
