Want to dual boot without remote or local capabilities, just two images jumper configurable.

​I've been trying to build a dual boot image for a 10M08DAF484C8G but I can't get it to compile or create an image with two images for CONFIG_SEL selection. Is there a way to do it without IP or remote/local IP? Thanx, Rich

    Hi Richard,

    You will need to write your own state machine to do so if you don't want to use IP. I would recommend to use IP as it is already there. May i know what do you meant by cannot get it compiled?

    Are you having problem in quartus design compilation with this IP?

    Thank YOu

      Hi, Thank you for contacting me. I’m using Quartus Prime Ver 17.1.0 Build 590 Lite edition. I’m using the Altera Dual Configuration in the IP library. The configuration mode is set to Dual configuration. //instantiation of the required IP for dual boot. dual_boot u0 ( .clk (LOW_B_CLK_IN) // clk.clk ,.nreset (reset_n) // nreset.reset_n // ,.avmm_rcv_address (<connected-to-avmm_rcv_address>) // avalon.address // ,.avmm_rcv_read (<connected-to-avmm_rcv_read>) // .read // ,.avmm_rcv_writedata (<connected-to-avmm_rcv_writedata>) // .writedata // ,.avmm_rcv_write (<connected-to-avmm_rcv_write>) // .write // ,.avmm_rcv_readdata (<connected-to-avmm_rcv_readdata>) // .readdata ); Is instantiated. The error is: Error (169130): Configuration mode specified as Remote but remote update block is not found in design. Thanx, Rich

      But I don’t want to do a remote update. I just want to change images with the external pin.

    Hi Richard,

    Apologize that we don't have the solution. Perhaps you can utilize the IP and then write your own state machine to interact with the IP. In your state machine, you will only read the input value (HIGH / LOW) from a certain pin.

    Thank You.
