Figure 8–32. Transitions Between Configurations in Remote Update Mode
After power up or a configuration error, the factory configuration logic writes the
remote system upgrade control register to specify the address of the application
configuration to be loaded. The factory configuration also specifies whether or not to
enable the user watchdog timer for the application configuration and, if enabled,
specifies the timer setting.
Only valid application configurations designed for remote update mode include the
logic to reset the timer in user mode. For more information about the user watchdog
timer, refer to the
Process any errors based on status information from the dedicated remote system
upgrade circuitry
Communicate with the remote host and receive new application configurations
and store the new configuration data in the local non-volatile memory device
Determine the application configuration to be loaded into the Cyclone IV device
Enable or disable the user watchdog timer and load its time-out value (optional)
Instruct the dedicated remote system upgrade circuitry to start a reconfiguration
cycle
