Remote update of microcontroller code in MAX10-10M04SCU16917

SShaw4 · ‎07-09-2020

Is there a design example available for a MAX10 connected to an 8051, with remote/in-circuit code update?

We are replacing an obsolete FPGA in a circuit with an 8051. We need to update the 8051 code remotely. The previous scheme is to run the flash programming code at 0-0x7FFF, with the page being updated at 0x8000.

I'm having trouble finding the right documents to explain the UFM controller and the actual locations of the control and status register.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi SShaw4,

You may have a look at below link for Remote System Upgrade (RSU) reference design MAX 10:

Basically, you need to have two IPs to perform RSU for MAX 10 (On-chip Flash IP core & Dual Configuration IP core). you may refer to below design block diagram.

Thanks
