Configuration Image Types
Stratix III Device Handbook, Volume 1
Figure 12–3. Enabling Remote Update for Stratix III Devices in Compiler Settings
When using a remote system upgrade, Stratix III device configuration bitstreams are
classified as factory configuration images or application configuration images. An
image, also referred to as a configuration, is a design loaded into the Stratix III device
that performs certain user-defined functions.
Each Stratix III device in your system requires one factory configuration image or the
addition of one or more application configuration images. The factory configuration
image is a user-defined fall-back, or safe configuration, and is responsible for
administering remote updates in conjunction with the dedicated circuitry. Application
configuration images implement user-defined functionality in the target Stratix III
device. You may include the default application configuration image functionality in
the factory configuration image.
A remote system upgrade involves storing a new application configuration image or
updating an existing one through the remote communication interface. After an
application configuration image is stored or updated remotely, the user design in the
Stratix III device initiates a reconfiguration cycle with the new image. Any errors
during or after this cycle are detected by the dedicated remote system upgrade
circuitry and cause the device to automatically revert to the factory configuration
image. The factory configuration image then performs error processing and recovery.
The factory configuration is written to the serial configuration device only once by the
system manufacturer and should not be remotely updated. On the other hand,
application configurations may be remotely updated in the system. Both images can
initiate system reconfiguration.
