    Hi,


    For Arria 10, the jic file will automatically reserved address 0x0 to 0x20 for address mapping use for remote update system. If you are not using is then it should be fine to programmed it into 0x0. If you are using jic file then it will automatically reserved the 0x0 to 0x20 as mention in the documentation that I provided to you regarding remote system update.

Hi,


You will need to follow the .map file to define where you should start sending your rpd file starting address. The reason is that in Arria 10, it will have a header to determine where the golden image is location that you would like to configured to.
