thanks, I think I have a handle on setting up the remote_update HW and how to work it in nios.

what is not clear to me yet is what type of programming files will I need?

Currently I make builds then covert my .sof file to a .jic file which I use to program my EPCS device.

There are still a few things that are unclear at this point.

1.) how do you get a factory image loaded, using the .jic file and flash it using my jtag like I have been doing?

2.) I will be using a uart to send the remote file to the board. What is the file format that I need for the upgrade file? And will I need to use an EPCS controller to write that file to my EPCS device.

any help with these questions would be deeply appreciated.
