Cyclone v Preloader without HPS

Hello, I am working with a Cyclone V (SoC) based board, which stores the FPGA configuration in QSPI flash memory. I don't actually use the HPS in my design and would like to shut it down completely...

Hi,

Correct me if I am wrong, you want to only use the FPGA and does not require the HPS at all?

You can just have your .sof converted into jic and store it in the QSPI and configure the FPGA upon boot, you need to adjust the MSEL pins.
