Quartus II Design Examples: Examples for altremote_update Megafunction

The altremote_update Megafunction User Guide provides two design examples to illustrate parameter writing along with reconfiguration and parameter reading using the altremote_update megafunction. These two design examples use the MegaWizard® Plug-In Manager in the Quartus® II software. The steps to generate the megafunction using the MegaWizard Plug-In Manager are described in detail in the User Guide.

Design Example 1: Parameter Writes and reconfig

This design example illustrates the sequence of control signals to be applied to set the time out value of the watchdog timer to any required count and enable the same. It also illustrates the sequence to select an application page and apply reconfig to start reconfiguration of the device to the selected page. 

In this example, you do the following:

  • Instantiate remote update block using the altremote_update megafunction and the MegaWizard Plug-in Manager.
  • Implement the design and assign the EP1S10B672C6 device to the project
  • Compile and simulate the design

The following design files are used in this example:

  1. The Quartus II project archive
  2. README file

The use of this design is governed by, and subject to, the terms and conditions of the Altera Hardware Reference Design License Agreement.

Design Example 2: Parameter Read

This design example illustrates the sequence of control signals to be applied to read the watchdog enable status, watchdog timeout value, the page set for reconfiguration and the current configuration state.

In this example, you do the following.

  • Instantiate remote update block using the altremote_update megafunction and the MegaWizard Plug-in Manager
  • Implement the design and assign the EP1S25F1020C5 device to the project
  • Compile and simulate the design

Design Files: The following files are used in this example.

  1. The Quartus II project archive 
  2. README file
