5.1. Remote System Upgrade Functional Description
5.1.1. Remote System Upgrade Using AS Configuration
Remote system upgrade using AS configuration includes the following components:
• Your external remote system upgrade host design. The host can be custom logic,
the HPS, or a Nios
®
II processor in the FPGA.
• One factory image.
• Flash memory for image storage.
• At least one application image.
Note: Remote system upgrade cannot use partial reconfiguration (PR) images for
the application image.
• Designs that do not use the HPS as the remote system upgrade host require an
Intel Stratix 10 Serial Flash Mailbox Client FPGA IP core as shown in the figure
below. The Serial Mailbox Client sends and receives remote system upgrade
operation commands and responses.
