# fpgaflash #

## SYNOPSIS ##
```console
fpgaflash [-h] {user,factory} file [bdf]
```

## DESCRIPTION ##
fpgaflash updates the static FIM image loaded from flash at power-on.

If there are multiple devices in the system, fpgaflash must specify a BDF to select the correct device. If no BDF is specified, fpgaflash prints out the BDFs of any compatible devices.

## POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS ##
`{user, factory}`

 Specifies the type of flash programming.
   
 `user` 
 
 Only reprograms the user image in flash.  
   
 `factory` 
 
 Reprograms the entire flash.  A catastrophic failure during a factory update such as a power outage
 requires a USB cable and `quartus_pgm` to recover.

`file`

Specifies the Raw Programming Data File (rpd) to program into flash.

`bdf`

Specifies the bus, device and function (BDF) of device to program such as 04:00.0 or 0000:04:00.0. This flag
is optional when there is a single device in the system.


## OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS ##
`-h, --help`

   Print usage information.

## EXAMPLE ##

`fpgaflash user new_image.rpd 0000:04:00.0`

Programs new_image.rpd to flash of device with BDF 0000:04:00.0.
