MAX 10 FPGA Remote System Upgrade (RSU)

Hi John,

Thanks for the reply.

yeah i changed the "config_sel_overwrite" and "config_sel" bits to high and then triggered the reconfiguration but it is not getting reconfigured.

Here if i flash the .pof file which contains both factory image and application image it is reconfiguring but if the send the RPD data of CFM1 to on chip flash memory through avalon memmory mapped interface and if i trigger the reconfiguration it is still at CFM0(not reconfiguring). The .pof and .rpd files are generated by using the Quartus prime 16.0 lite edition. Does it makes any difference with .pof and .rpd files.

i am able to reconfigure with the .pof file flashed through JTAG but not with .rpd data sent through avalon memory mapped interface.

Hi,​

​

I​ am receiving rpd data from external STM32 micro controller to FPGA through SPI interface and from here to onchip flash memory through Avalon memory mapped interface. Here I am collecting 4bytes of data from micro controller and then sending it to onchip flash memory(CFM1 & CFM2). The total size of rpd file is 140KB.I am using little-endian file.

​

Shiva​.

Hi,

Yes, i able to read the content of flash memory and the data what i am reading is exactly matching with the rpd data. I tried with the big-endian file but still it is not getting reconfigured. The big-endian option was selected by going through Convert programming files -> options/Boot info -> rpd file endianness -> Big endian.

Shiva.

Hi,

I am updating CFM1 and then CFM2.

ERASE OPERATION:

Before writing data to CFM1 and CFM2, i am erasing the on chip flash memory(CFM1 & CFM2) by disabling the write protection and giving the sector to be erased and then enabling the write protection.

WRITE OPERATION:

After erase operation i am disabling the write protection of CFM1 sector and giving the starting address, write enable and write data, burst count to '1'(parallel) and continuing this process till it reaches the end address of the CFM1 sector and then enabling the write protection of CFM1 and disabling the write protection of CFM2 and continuing the above process till it reaches the end address of CFM2 and enabling back the write protection.

READ OPERATION:

After write operation i am disabling the respective sectors write protection ,giving the address,burst count to '1'(parallel),read enable and waiting for the readdatavalid and then collecting the data. I am continuing this process by incrementing the address till i receive the entire data.

RECONFIGURATION:

After all these i am triggering the reconfiguration.

In each and every operation i am checking the erase success,write success and read success.

NOTE: Here the read operation is performing only to verify the data.

Shiva.

Hi,

I tried to read the msm_cs value from dual boot ip by giving the offset 4, the dualboot ip is giving all 1's from [16:0] and all 0's from [31:17](checked in the simulation). Which means the msm_cs value is 1111 (16:13). This indicates it is not matching with any msm_cs values.How can i get the correct msm_cs values.

while doing this remote system upgrade i never used the watch dog timer, if this is the problem can you provide the information regarding how to enable and use the watchdog for reconfiguration success.

Shiva.

Hi,

Thanks for the above information provided.

i did it by triggering the 0th bit of offset 2 waited till busy state and read the [16:13] bits of offset 4.

if i do the above process by loading the pof file which is going to CFM0 and CFM1/CFM2, Before the reconfiguration triggered i am able to read "0010" (Image 0 is being loaded) and after triggering the reconfiguration "0100"(Image 1 is being loaded). which is working fine.

But if i do same process by sending the rpd data, Before the reconfiguration triggered i am able to read the "0010" (Image 0 is being loaded) and after triggering the reconfiguration "0101"(Image 0 is being loaded after a revert in application image happens). Can you provide the information like how to fix this issue.

Is it because of the way we are writing the data into onchip flash memory?

I am writing the data by collecting first 8 bits to LSB[7:0] then next 8 bits to [15:8] then [23:16] and [31:24] i.e..,[31,30................3,2,1,0].

Hi,

I am generating the rpd file by going through convert programming files -> internal configuration(mode) -> .pof(programming file type) -> file name -> selecting 1.create memory map file 2.create config data RPD -> Under input file to convert adding the sof file two times, and then selecting the Generate option.

After this the tool is generating the .map, .pof, .rpd(combined), cfm0_auto_rpd, cfm1_auto_rpd, ufm_auto_rpd files. From these files we are sending the cfm1_auto_rpd file to onchip flash memory.

After writing the rpd file data we are reading the data from onchip flash. This data is matching with the original rpd file data.

Please find the following attachment of rpd file and read_out_rpd file.

Shiva.

Hi,

After clinking the generate in convert programming file the tool is generating the Combined, CFM1, CFM0, UFM rpd files, In this i am writing the CFM1 file

(already splitted rpd file) to onchip flash memory.

while generating the rpd file the SOF file in page_0 is the factory image and the SOF file in the page_1 is Application image, so after generating the rpd file i am sending the CFM1 rpd file (Application image) to onchip flash memory.

shiva.

Hi,

Please find the following attachment of both RPD files.
