Upgrade Altera MAX10m08 over SPI

Trying to upgrade an Altera MAX10m08 over SPI that would put the new image in CFM1/2. 1. Are there any example design files that will allow Max10m08 to talk over SPI to a microcontroller, and be abl...

Hi,
remote upgrade connects at least to on-chip flash IP and for full featured design also to dual configuration IP core. Both have AVMM interface, but essentially exposes a set of registers that can be accessed through any protocol of your choice. Intel has published I2C and UART examples, but SPI can be of course used as well.

    Thanks for the response

    So while trying to put the IP cores on the FPGA ... we realized that the part we are using is 10M08SCU169A7G. The SC means that it's the compact version. So when we tried to put the Dual Configuration IP into it, it did not allow it as it was not supported for the compact version.

    1. Is there still a way to upgrade this 10M08 Compact version? (without the use of the Dual Boot configuration IP Core)

    2. Can the config_sel pin still be used to select which flash page the device boots from?
