Generating Remote System Update Image Files Using The Programming File Generator - Intel Agilex Configuration User Manual

4. Remote System Update (RSU)
UG-20205 | 2019.10.09
a. Swap the bits of each byte so that the bits occur in reverse order and compute the CRC.
b. Swap the bytes of the computed CRC32 value to appear in reverse order.
c. Swap the bits in each byte of the CRC32 value.
d. Write the CRC32 value to flash.
When using HPS to manage RSU, both U-Boot and LIBRSU clients implement the above procedure to relocate application
images targeting address zero in the actual destination slot address.
Note: The factory update image has a different format. Refer to the Generating a Factory Update Image topic for the correct
procedure to generate the factory update image. .
