Arria 10 SoC Partial Reconfiguration Support

The SoC FPGA device provides an Arm* -based hard processor system (HPS) which can be used to run Linux, a real time operating system (RTOS), or a bare-metal software stack. The HPS, running appropriate software, can act as the PR host, and efficiently manage the reconfigurable FPGA logic regions.
