Relationship between EPCS controller and Remoteupdate Megafunction

Hi there, 

 

I am getting confused by the relationship between the EPCS controller and the remote update megafunction: 

 

Does the remote update megafunction contains a EPCS controller in it to interface with EPCS flash? Or Remote update megafunction is the master to the EPCS controller?:confused:  

 

Thanks, 

Hua

- There is probably a RSU<->avalon bridge for the NIOS but I do not know its name 

- EPCS controller allows communication with the EPCS using the Nios. 

- ALTRSU_UPDATE megafunction allows your custom logic to control the booting of the FPGA 

- ALTASMI_PARALLEL megafunction allows your custom logic to communicate with the EPCS device 

 

So if you have a NIOS use the first two. If you donßt, use the last two.
