I'll reclarify since you said there's no option to write the entire .rpd file. Correct me if I'm wrong, a user cannot write the RPD file in one go. My intentional design is to erase the corresponding sectors of interest and since I can only page write a maximum of 256 bytes, I will push into ASMI one-byte at a time until 256 bytes, then allow ASMI to write to EPCQ128 and monitor the busy signal, then continue the next 256 bytes and ensuring the next address is indexed properly. The last data packet will likely be less than 256 bytes so I would think it can be padded with FF. After everything is sent, have RSU reconfigure the FPGA and monitor any errors or LED feedback to ensure success of file. Is this method allowed for sending the complete RPD file to ASMI to configure the EPCQ128?
I may just leave a simple factory image with ASMI+RSU+UDP Ethernet enabled and focus on having an application image successfully stored to still utilize RSU. Since you brought up RSU wouldn't not work without an application image, if a factory image was programmed to EPCQ128 with only ASMI+UDP Ethernet, would I just need a controller to reset the FPGA via nCONFIG? Thanks again.
