Cyclone V PR with Internal Host

Question

Hi, I am using the Cyclone V SoC (5SCEMA5F31C6N) and I want to set up a simple Partial Reconfiguration Project.

I'm getting an error when trying to configure an internal host using the megawizard function saying that this feature is not supported by my device.

In the Cylone V Device Oveview, its mentioned that "Partial reconfiguration is supported through the FPP x16 configuration interface".

Does this mean that Cyclone V only supports PR with external hosts?

Kind Regards

Johannes

Make sure you are using the lastest Quartus II version that support this IP with Cyclone V.

The user guide refers to the Stratix V device family (see first paragraph). I am using a Cyclone V board which has a reduced feature set compared to Stratix. Is it still possible to use an internal host?
