MAX10 remote configuration with MCU

Design objective is to allow remote configuration update over ethernet with MCU. Is there a reference design or recommended method for this type of configuration?

I'm unaware of a reference design. However, there is a recommended method for doing this. It's covered in detail in the 'max 10 fpga configuration user guide (https://www.altera.com/en_us/pdfs/literature/hb/max-10/ug_m10_config.pdf)' - see the 'remote system upgrade in dual compressed images' section.

This also refers to the 'remote system upgrade for max 10 fpga devices over uart with the nios ii processor (https://www.altera.com/en_us/pdfs/literature/an/an741.pdf)' app note. Whilst you're not looking to deliver the update over UART, the same principle and methodology can be applied.

Cheers,

Alex
