MAX10 dual boot image IP verification

Hi

I am finding a way of verifying the Quartus dual image IP on my board. The FPAG on the board is 10M16DAU324.

Firstly, I had tested the CONFIG_SEL pin which did change the boot image so the IP seemed good.

And then I found a document which listed that CRC error and watchdog timeout would cause the remote system upgrade feature to load another application configuration image.

However, the FPGA did not reconfigure after I injected an soft error by changing the 32-bit CRC option register.

Does anyone know how to verify it?

Many thanks

      I used Quartus JTAG chain debugger to access CHANGE_EDREG JTAG Instruction.

      The CRC_ERROR pin did go high when I changed the CRC storage register.

      It seems the JAM file would do the same thing.

      And I am curious if dual IP core support re-configuration in user mode, since these methods would only inject soft error in user mode.

      Cheers.

    Yes, you can do reconfiguration using dual IP core in user mode. After soft error is injected, you need to do reconfiguration in order to test it.
