10 years agoMaybe I can add some details of the story...
I would like to write remotely both configuration through SPI from the CPU, then select the one to load by driving the boot_sel pin. To do so, I tried to generate single-compressed image for both configurations, then write them in the CFM0 and CFM1 & CFM2 respectively. The FPGA loads configuration from CFM0 but even if I change the boot_sel pin, it still load the configuration from CFM0. Then, I tried to implement the dual-configuration IP. From there, I generate dual-compressed image for the "upgrade" configuration. Everything is ok until I generate the .pof file (to get .rpd file for remote flash programming) where a second .sof image is requested (due to the dual-compressed image settings). I generate the "application" configuration to be stored in CFM1 & CFM2. I tried to generate it as single-compressed image, but it fails in the .pof file generation of the "upgrade" configuration, until I choose dual-compressed image also for the "application" configuration. So I need to use dual-compressed image also for the application but then I need to also add the dual-configuration IP in the "application" configuration which I don't wan't. Johan
