3.2.1. External Configuration Host Only

Figure 7. External Configuration Host Only

In this example, the external configuration host ( Avalon® Streaming or JTAG) provides the SDM a configuration bitstream that consists of the following components:

  • SDM configuration firmware
  • HPS EMIF I/O configuration data
  • HPS FSBL code and HPS FSBL hardware handoff binary

However, because the HPS SSBL or subsequent OS files are not part of the bitstream, the HPS can only boot up to the FSBL stage. This setup is applicable if you are using the FSBL to run simple applications.
