FlexZone Product Guide

1. Once the FPGA firmware is updated, update the MSP firmware.

•

Select the Application button.

•

Select the MSP button.

•

Select the Current Active radio button to specify that the Current configuration be used.

•

Select the Browse button.

•

Navigate to the location of the XDU file.

•

Select and open the FlexZoneMSP_x.xx.XDU file (x.xx = firmware version). 

Note

After the FPGA firmware update, the processor’s two CPUs will be 
unable to communicate with each other. As a result, a boot fail or 
processor offline error may be reported. Ignore this error and proceed 
with the update.

CAUTION

If the MSP firmware is updated first (before the FPGA firmware), it will 
then be impossible to upgrade the FPGA firmware. In this case, you 
must reload MSP version 1.00 and then start over; updating the FPGA 
firmware first.
