Honored ContributorCycloneIII flash content / field update
Hi, I'm trying to provide the possibility to field update the Flash content, so that the FPGA can boot using new configuration data. I have a design in which there is no Nios II process...

Honored ContributorHi, from the link that you sendt:
"by using the altremote_update megafunction and the dedicated circuitry, your design can download a new configuration image from a remote location, store it in the configuration memory, and direct the dedicated remote system upgrade circuitry to start a reconfiguration cycle." That's what I'm looking for. But how can I actually "download a new configuration image from a remote location" while using the SPI interface? Usually the JTAG_UART is used along with the Quartus II Programmer and a PFL inorder to download the .pof file that contains the new configuration data. How can I transfere the content of the .pof file from the remote location to the flash device? saber890
