Remote system update for arria10 FPGA

[Rk_Athram]

Hi, 

we are using Arria 10 FPGA DEVICE "10AX057N2F40E2SG", we needed to use Remote system update feature for our custom board.


From the intel design store, there are two reference design modules.

But from rocketboards website it is stated as

https://www.rocketboards.org/foswiki/Documentation/RemoteSystemUpdateCompatibility

"The Remote System Update (RSU) is a feature available for Stratix 10 and Agilex FPGA devices"

please Clarify whether Arria10 will support or NO!

Thanks,

Rajesh

Hi Rk_Athram

Sorry to inform you that the Remote System Update is only for Stratix 10 and Agilex 7 devices currently.

Hi Jingyang, Teh


From the given link below, There is an example design for RSU.

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/design-example/714766/arria-10-intel-fpga-remote-system-update-via-pci-express.html

which is posted in 20-01-2021.



From your statement 

"Sorry to inform you that the Remote System Update is only for Stratix 10 and Agilex 7 devices currently"

is intel not supporting now this feature for Arria10 devices???

Thanks,

HI Rajesh

Sorry for the wrong information.

There is indeed a Remote update IP for the Arria10.

So far here are the document that I am able to find out related tot he IP

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/programmable/683695/18-0/avalon-mm-in-remote-update-core.html

Please give me some time to try out the example for the Arria10 to better help you out.

Hi Jingyang, Teh

Thank you for the response.

Please try out on RSU over PCIe, will be waiting for your results on RSU over PCIe.

I will go through the document.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Rajesh

Sorry that I have not much to update currently.

I would need more time on trying out the example.

Will update you as soon as i got an update.

Hi Jingyang, Teh

Thank you for the response.

We have tried the example design at our end but we are getting error.

Please refer the thread for error details 

https://community.intel.com/t5/Programmable-Devices/Facing-Issue-On-Design-Example-Intel-Arria-10-FPGA-Remote-System/m-p/1283715#M80022%3Fwapkw=RSU_over_PCIe%20driver

Please suggest how to overcome the error.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Rajesh

Sorry for dragging the case too long.

Update on this case so far, I am still having problems with the example design.

I am pulling in a more senior colleague of mine to help out with the case.

Hi Jingyang, Teh

Thank you for your efforts.

Please share the results after the tests, why the design is NOT giving expected output.

Hi Rajesh

Before you start the steps of flashing the application image did you flash the ru.jic image to setup the flash layout?

Regards

Jingyang, Teh

[Rk_Athram]

Hi Jingyang, Teh

Yes, we are maintaining factory image, by programming ru.jic.

Regards,

Rajesh

[JingyangTeh]

Hi Rajesh

Did you flash the initial image to set up the image layout for the Factory and the Application Image?

Regards

Jingyang, Teh

[Rk_Athram]

Hi Jingyang, Teh

Yes

Is example design working for you!

Regards,

Rajesh

[JingyangTeh]

Hi Rajeesh

Sorry for the late reply.

I just tried out the example design and found that the files in the example design is not working.

I will work with the owner on this.

Mean while you could try out the files attached.

I have created it base on the user guide of the example.

Please refer to the .map for the start and end address.
