In the operational phase we will not have the JTAG to program the flash. So we will have to download the FPGA codes and our application onto the RAM and then reprogram the entire EPCS flash (thus probably including the bootloader). Do you know if there is documentation about how we can can do this? Maybe you have other tips. Thanks in advance. Regards, Kwok Kwok
