5.1.2. Remote System Update Using AS Configuration

Remote system update using AS configuration includes the following components:

  • Your remote system update 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.
  • Designs that do not use the HPS as the remote system update host require a Mailbox Client Intel® FPGA IP as shown in the figure below. The Mailbox Client sends and receives remote system update operation commands and responses, such as QSPI_READ and QSPI_WRITE.

Attention:

Starting in version 19.2 of the Intel® Quartus® Prime software, a restriction applies to the following mailbox client IPs that access the SDM mailbox over an Avalon® Memory-Mapped ( Avalon® -MM) interface:

  • Temperature Sensor
  • Voltage Sensor
  • Chip ID
  • Serial Flash Mailbox Client
  • Mailbox Client IP
  • Advanced SEU Detection IP
  • Partial Reconfiguration IP

If you use the Mailbox IP in designs compiled in Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software version 19.2 or later, you must only use SDM firmware starting from version 19.2 or later to configure the FPGA.
