Hi,

sorry for the delay.

When I am in the factory image and I want to start the application image I call:

altera_remote_update_trigger_reconfig (DEVICE, 1, 0x1001000, 0x00);

Where:

DEVICE is the Remote update IP block

1 is for applicaiton page

0x1001000 is the address application image in flash

0x00 is watchdog value.

That function does set the RU_CONFIGURATION_MODE register to 1 before starting the application image.

This should mean that when the application image is running, when the RU_CONFIGURATION_MODE is read, it should be read back as 1?

This is certainly what seems to be suggested from the link you sent, yet it still doesn't work, it appears to be always set to 0.

It appears to be getting reset to 0 even though the correct application is being run.

Best Regards

    Hi,

    Does the FPGA is getting program? Does the application image take effect or not? Example: if you are using LED, does the LED blinking?
