10 years agoTo satisfy the 100ms PCIe boot time you need to first configure the FPGA with a small image (short boot time) that brings the PCIe links up. You then need to use partial reconfiguration, typically via Configuration via Protocol (CvP) to boot the remainder of the device.
Look through the arria 10 device overview (https://www.altera.com/content/dam/altera-www/global/en_us/pdfs/literature/hb/arria-10/a10_overview.pdf). Search through it for "Configuration via Protocol". Happy New Year, Alex
