5.3.5. Boot Handshake
There are two input signals from the FPGA to control HPS boot from the FPGA. Both are synchronized within the FPGA Manager. Boot software reads these signals before accessing a boot image in the FPGA. The following table describes the functionality of these signals.
Signal | Description |
---|---|
f2h_boot_from_fpga_on_failure | Indicates whether a fallback second-stage boot loader image is available in the FPGA on-chip RAM at memory location 0x0. The fallback second-stage boot loader image is used only if the HPS boot ROM does not find a valid second-stage boot loader image in the selected flash memory device. |
f2h_boot_from_fpga_ready | The f2h_boot_from_fpga_ready signal is used by the Boot ROM when accessing the public key stored in the FPGA. The Boot ROM only uses the signal if asserted to boot with the public key. Indicates a second-stage boot loader image is available in an FPGA on-chip RAM at memory location 0x0 and it is ready to be accessed. |
