This section describes the FPGA load.

Loading the FPGA

The FPGA on the accelerator must be loaded when the host boots, so the accelerator can be assigned addresses in the host memory map. The FPGA is loaded automatically with an image from the flash memory on the accelerator.

Image at power up

The primary image is loaded at power-up of the host, but if loading of this image fails, then the secondary image is loaded instead.
