New Application Note: Multiple configurations for Altera FPG

Wed Aug 25, 2010 5:29 pm   

Hi,

After seeing a number of customers struggling with this issue, I have
written a detailed ApNote showing how to implement a multiple
configuration system for Altera FPGAs. The example is a Cyclone III
using Active Serial mode / EPCS (on a DE0 board), but it is easily
translatable to any other Altera FPGA/board.
It is not complex, but getting everything right from the documentation
is not absolutely obvious.
The ApNote and the design files are available at the top of the list
at:
http://www.alse-fr.com/apnotes.php
Anyone spotting a discrepancy, please let me know.

Hope this helps,
Bert.

Thanks for this Bert, I have to get remote-update / multiple configuration
operating on a Startan III board immenently so this is very useful.

One thing, when I skimmed your post I presumed you were talking about
configuring multiple devices from one flash chip, not multiple images
for one device.

Bert, there's only one page in the PDF (numbering shows 1 of 9) !

....and as he's just pointed out by email there's a link to the whole
thing at the bottom.

Oh, I assumed that Startan III was an Alterinx product like Stratex
