FPGA programming.
Active Serial (Fast) mode
Users can use these modes to configure the FPGA or HPS (Hardware Process System)
fabric in the Intel Agilex® 7 device and make the FPGA to run the user's logic or boot
the HPS to run the OS. In AS mode, the FPGA's configuration file is stored in the QSPI
flash. The Secure Device Manager (SDM) in Intel Agilex® 7 device is responsible for
the entire AS mode process and interface. The SDM will load the initial configuration
firmware from the QSPI flash to configure the FPGA including FPGA I / O and core
configuration.

SoC FPGA boot
The boot process for Intel Agilex® 7 device can be divided into two different methods:
FPGA Configuration First Mode
HPS Boot First Mode
The difference between the two methods is the initial difference between HPS and
FPGA fabric after powering on. More details can be found in the user documentation:
