Regarding Parallel Flash Loader II

I’m planning to configure an Agilex 5 using the Avalon‑ST configuration scheme with an external host. I would like to use a Cyclone 10 LP as the host and implement PFL II, but Cyclone 10 LP does not ...

Thank you. Is the reason why “FPGA Configuration” cannot be selected in the PFL II IP when using Cyclone 10 LP still unclear? 
In general, is PFL‑based configuration not recommended when using Cyclone 10 LP?

Hi Mario,

Cyclone 10 LP is not an official supported external host for Agilex 5 Avalon‑ST when using PFL II. Supported hosts are MAX II, MAX V, MAX 10, or a microprocessor that streams the bitstream. Avalon-ST Configuration
Recommended approach: use a MAX 10 running PFL II to read flash and drive Avalon‑ST.
Can you still try Cyclone 10 LP as a host? Only as a custom, official implementation where you need to build the host logic yourself.
