FPGA Remote Upgrade

Hi All, 

 

I am stuck with this FPGA upgrade problem. I started doing the upgrade in which the factory image has the Remote update and ASMI IP blocks and the application image has the Serial Flash loader IP block. I switch from the factory to the application image and programmed the flash externally using a .rbf file and the fpga gets upgraded.  

 

 

The problem i am facing is that, after doing the upgrade, if I power cycle the fpga it loses the upgraded image and goes back to the factory image. Is this how it will happen ? If this is a problem can you guide me to a solution for this problem. 

 

Thanks, 

Sid

Hi, 

 

This is expected behavior for Remote System Upgrade feature. The FPGA will be configured to Factory image upon power up or configuration error.
