1.1. Remote System Upgrade with MAX 10 FPGA Overview
With the remote system upgrade feature, enhancements and bug fixes for FPGA devices can be done remotely. In an embedded system environment, firmware needs to be updated frequently over the various type of protocol, such as UART, Ethernet, and I2C. When the embedded system includes an FPGA, firmware updates can include updates of the hardware image on the FPGA.
MAX10 FPGA devices provide the capability to store up to two configuration images which further enhance the remote system upgrade feature. One of the images will be the back up image that is loaded if an error occurs in the current image.
