7.3.5.2. Programming the Update Images

  1. Ensure that the Intel FPGA device’s Active Serial (AS) pin is routed to the QSPI flash. This routing allows the flash loader to load into the QSPI flash and configure the board correctly.
  2. Ensure the MSEL pin setting on the board is configured for AS programming.
  3. Open the Intel Quartus Prime Configuration Debugger and make sure JTAG is detected under the Hardware Setup.
  4. Click Load Device and select the Intel FPGA device.
  5. Navigate to the Flash tab.
  6. Click Auto-detect to auto-detect the QSPI Flash that is attached to the device.
  7. Navigate to the Program function. Assign Image Start Address and RPD file path.
    • For app_image.rpd, the Image Start Address is 0x3000000.

    • For factory_update.rpd, the Image Start Address is 0x3800000.

  8. Click Program RPD to begin.
