Thanks for the reply,

Yes I would like two images in the FPGA and Yes I have the sopc remote configuration controller built into both FPGAs. I was just trying to work out

my build scripts and get both images in the FPGA. I don't have the download

portion in my design, so I was just trying to see the basic aspects of remote

working.

I cant't believe that you still have to build a custom bootloader. This had to be done back with stratix II and early remote reconfiguration. You would think the tools would have improved with regards to the bootloader. This makes multi-image management cubersome. Basically if I have 6 images then I have to maintain 6 distinct loads based on the loads location in flash. Good grief! Lucky for me I only need one.

Dear Altera,

Please add a automatic bootloader creation tool based on the images

location in flash.

Thanks Daixiwen,

John
