Hi,


Please find my response below:

1) Do I need to integrate the Remote Upgrade IP in the factory design with a state machine that operates it according to page 7 in the user guide ?

Yes, you need to.


2) I'm working with a EPCS128 device so what are the address range of page 0 (the factory image) and page 1 (image 2-application image) ?

I am assuming you are using Active Serial Configuration Scheme. When you are generating the bitstream for the flash (.jic), you may need to add 2 sof file (factory image and application image), from there, you can select the start address for page 0 and page 1.


Regards,

Bruce

    Thanks, I did it successfully.

    Now, I want to add the option "Enable reconfig POF checking" so do I need check the "pof_error" signal in my state machine, before I send the reconfig command from my state machine to the Remote Update IP? I mean before the step 4 in the following order:

    Hi,

    Lucky you are using a configuration device that supports Active Serial (AS) mode.

    Our configuration device only supports FPP or PS scheme and we are using MAX V CPLD with PFL.

    No luck from our side to use the Remote Update IP within our Cyclone V FPGA for this yet
