Hello, It can be done if you send the image as a raw binary file. It might be something like this: A10(soc)-------> AXI------->A10(FPGA_fabric,GbE)-------->PhyA10---->Cable-----> PhyMax10-----> EPCQ Flash -------> Cyclone10 I will consider there is a nios ii processor hold in MAX10 so it can read the incoming binary file and store it to configuration flash. Thanks
