Thanks Alex.

Yes, I know the app note an603 discusses stratix and arria devices, but i believe its the same for cyclone as well.

I want the remote configuration module to be instantiated in both the factory and application images since the remote upgrade might be arriving at any given time and should be able to change the application configuration data and trigger reconfiguration.

Also application configuration image contains image update circuitry which fetches new image (from master controller in this case) and updates the content in the serial configuration boot flash. This image update circuitry cannot be in factory configuration image.

Is this correct?
