    Hi,

    After you update the rpd file, do you performed reconfiguration or power cycle the board to see if the new image is being configured into the FPGA?

    The reason is that the rpd file update is only updating the flash content and not reconfigure the FPGA

Hi @BoonBengT_Altera

Thanks for reply....

This is our requirement: Remote System Upgrade over UART based on Nios II Processor with EPCQ1024 (ARRIA 10 FPGA Development Kit

1. I reffered example project of max 10 and cyclone V remote system upgrade over uart based on the nios || Processor.

2. there is no warning

3.yes

* In nios eclipse we don't how to write main.c program
* generating the .rpd file using .sof and .hex we not abled update over flash

below i attached one capture in that enter programming file displaying if i tried to update .rpd file it is not sending

@BoonBengT_Altera @JohnT_Intel @Deshi_Intel @n_scott_pearson

flash upgraded completely .
1. after upgrading it is not giving expected result, it means after upgrading led should glow. if load .sof of same project lead will glow.but if load .rpd file led is not glowing.

upgrading is taking more than 3 hours(Uart baudrate value is 115200)

        Hi,

        May I know if you generate big endian or little endian format of rpd file? Have you try the other format? Have you verify the contain of the flash to be correct?
