The following Wiki describes the different types of HPS booting for a Cyclone V system like the DE10-Nano:

http://www.alterawiki.com/wiki/socbootfromfpga

1) Boot from SD/MMC card,

2) Boot from QSPI,

3) Boot from NAND,

4) RAM Boot - on Warm Reset only,

5) Boot from FPGA,

6) FPGA Fallback boot.

I've only done# 1 so far, where the preloader and the baremetal application are loaded onto the SD card. Which one are you interested in?

You mention "bare metal in FPGA fabric", so do you mean# 5 above?
