1 Overview
(Ask a Question)This application note explains how to use the accompanying design to demonstrate the auto update and IAP features on the PolarFire® Evaluation board.
The on-board 1 GB Micron SPI Flash device is connected to System Controller SPI which is programmed using the fabric logic or Libero® SoC software.
This application note includes the Mi-V soft processor, which initiates the system service requests for the device programming and enables the PF_SYSTEM_SERVICES core to access the System Controller. For more information about the design implementation, and the necessary blocks and IP cores instantiated in Libero SoC, see Demo Design.
This design is programmed using any of the following options:
- Using the pre-generated
.jobfile: To program the device using the.jobfile provided along with the design, see Appendix 2: Programming the Device and External SPI Flash Using FlashPro Express. - Using Libero SoC: To program the device using Libero SoC, see Libero Design Flow.Important: This design can be used as a reference to build a fabric design with programming features.
