max10 remote system update nios with uart

Hello

Nios II is EOL, Altera stop selling Nios II/f license.

New users need to migrate to Nios V and apply the Nios V license.

Regarding the example design, couple of points below that can help you.

To simplify the design, it can be divided into three function blocks:

• RSU block (Dual Configuration IP to handle RSU)
• UART block (Communication thru UART)
• Booting block (Nios to boot from QSPI)

RSU block (Dual Configuration IP to handle RSU)

UART block (Communication thru UART, such as printf & scanf)

Booting block (Nios booting from QSPI)

Below User Guides will help you to understand more about these function blocks.

RSU block (Dual Configuration IP to handle RSU)

• MAX® 10 FPGA Configuration User Guide (How does Dual Configuration IP handle Max 10 RSU?)
• MAX® 10 User Flash Memory User Guide (Dual Configuration IP switches the target CFM only, you will need On-Chip Flash IP to change the FPGA Image in CFM)

UART block (Communication thru UART)

• UART Core (Altera HAL driver to send/receive UART data in Software Programming Model subchapter)

Booting block (Nios booting from QSPI)

• Nios® II Processor Booting from QSPI Flash (QSPI Controller + OCRAM is a must to boot Nios II from QSPI)
• Nios® V Processor Booting from General Purpose QSPI Flash (QSPI Controller + OCRAM is a must to boot Nios V from QSPI)

And finally connecting the 3 logic blocks to get the whole design,

Thanks
