AN 932: Flash Access Migration Guidelines

Document ID: 683127 | Version: 2020.12.21

Introduction to Flash Access Migration

This document provides essential guidelines for implementing flash access and Remote System Update (RSU) operations on various Intel FPGA devices. It specifically addresses the migration process from older control block-based architectures to the newer Secure Device Manager (SDM)-based designs.

Key Device Families and Architectures

The guidelines cover migration strategies for the following Intel FPGA families:

It details the differences in flash access and RSU operations between control block-based devices (like Arria 10 and V-series) and SDM-based devices (like Stratix 10 and Agilex).

Core Technologies and Interfaces

The document explores the use of various Intel FPGA IP cores and interfaces crucial for flash management and updates, including:

It also discusses the supported QSPI devices and provides comparisons between different IP solutions for optimal design choices.
