Mixing FPP and AS for programming FPGA

Hi there guys,

Thanks for the advice.

I will be going ahead with FPP mode anyway. I think I got a little confused while going through the documentation and app notes with regards the remote system upgrades. For the Stratix IV, it says it only supports AS.

However as FvM has said, that I can go ahead and use Ethernet as a parallel databus.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find any mention for connecting to an ethernet connection in the documentation. I assume this will be a parallel connection as well. Is it also possible to accept this upgrade through another microcontroller as well? If so, do you know through which pins it will communicate as I need to make sure our microcontroller can support it.

Also, do you know the steps through which an ethernet upload occurs. Initiation, download, upload and rebooting?

Thanks again for your help
