Hi,


To answer your question whether NIOS is required when using Remote update over I2C with FPGA,


Yes, NIOS is required. NIOS II will act as controller as FPGA need a specific controller when doing remote update over I2C.

You can refer to below userguide for more information on I2C remote update:

There is also I2C remote update design example for reference:
