Using the Pre-computed CRC on MAX10 FPGA to Determine .pof Version.

Hello, I am wondering how and when the pre-computed CRC that gets loaded into the fpga CRC-correction block gets generated. I am able to get the CRC from both internal logic and by using the JAM pla...

Aiman,

That is not quite our goal.

We want to be able to check to see if the .pof on the FPGA matches the .pof that we have on the host controller so that we can quickly check that the fpga has the latest image without flashing a new image to the FPGA flash. We were hoping to use the CRC to accomplish this and want to know if there is a way to extract the pre-computed CRC from the .pof file?

We are using the Jam STAPL byte-code player to flash the fpga which is quite slow, so we want to update the fpga as little as possible.

Thanks,

David
