16 years agoWell,
I've not used Cyclone III but I have used Stratix II. It looks like I read the AnF bit (maybe Stratix II only) to determine which image booted. I only read the status page if I'm in factory mode and not application mode. I don't think the status page is valid in application mode (I think you get all 0's). If I'm in factory mode, I use the status page to determine what was the source of the reconfig. Obviously if this is our first boot then we want to try and load the application image. If we already tried to load the application image and it failed, then there is no sense in trying to load the application image again. But I think the key is you can only read the status register if you're in factory mode. Jake
