Multi-Device AS Configuration with cyclone IV GX and cyclone III? +remote upgrade?

Hi, 

 

I have a system using 2 different FPGA: 1 cyclone IV GX (master) and 1 cyclone III (slave). The cyclone IV uses AS configuration to boot from epcs and then programs the cyclone III in PS mode. 

I would like to upgrade this system. 

 

Is it possible to use a multi-Device AS Configuration with 2 different .sof with 2 different FPGA? 

I also need to use the remote upgrade function. Is it compatible with multi-sof configuration? 

I don't understand well how the FPGA manages multiple sof (epcs address, sof selection...), is there some examples? 

 

I would like to use something like that: 

-----EPCS----- 

@0 

.sof cycIV factory 

.sof cycIII factory 

@X 

.sof cycIV user 

.sof cycIII user 

With remote upgrade function manage by cyclone IV. 

 

Thanks in advance.

Does anybody has some doc or examples about multi-sof AS configuration ? 

 

And is it compatible with remote upgrade ? 

 

Thanks.
