4.2.3.3. Creating Factory Update Images

The following command is used to create factory update images:

quartus_pfg -c \
factory_design.sof \
factory_update.rpd \
-o hps_path=fsbl.hex \
-o mode=ASX4 \
-o bitswap=ON \
-o rsu_upgrade=ON \
-o hps=1

The following table describes the parameters.

Parameter Description
factory_design.sof Input SOF file, containing the FPGA design for the factory image
factory_update.rpd Output factory update image
-o hps_path=fsbl.hex Input HPS FSBL hex binary file for the factory image
-o mode=ASX4 Create image targeting QSPI
-o bitswap=ON Create file in regular binary format
-o rsu_upgrade=ON Select factory upgrade image
-o hps=1 Use only for HPS first designs

For FPGA first case, the parameter “-o hps=1” must be omitted, and the file factory_update.rpd is created.

For HPS first the parameter “-o hps=1” must be passed, and the following two files will be created:
  • factory_update.hps.rpd—contains the factory update image
  • factory_update.core.rbf—corresponding fabric configuration file
