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?

Yes - sure there is. However, Altera don't publish it.

You might consider using Serial Vector Format (SVF) files, which Quartus can generate and can be 'played' through any JTAG programmer. However, if you're considering writing your own JTAG 'player' to configure your device you're in for a bumpy ride.

If you want to remotely update your MAX10 device I strongly recommend you stick to the methods Altera recommends.

Cheers,
