New Application Note: Multiple configurations for Altera FPGAs - Bert_Paris - 2010-08-25 12:29:00

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.

I don't assume it's going to be useful for Xilinx (or Actel or Lattice) 
users, since most of the work is about undesrtanding how to use the 
*Altera* Megafunction named "altremote_update"...

Oh, I assumed that Startan III was an Alterinx product like Stratex
7 :)
