Cyclone III device family is cascaded for a multi-device configuration.

In a multi-device FPP configuration, the nCE pin of the first device is connected to
GND while its nCEO pin is connected to the nCE pin of the next device in the chain.
The nCE input of the last device comes from the previous device while its nCEO pin is
left floating. After the first device completes configuration in a multi-device
configuration chain, its nCEO pin drives low to activate the nCE pin of the second
device, which prompts the second device to begin configuration. The second device in
the chain begins configuration in one clock cycle; therefore, the transfer of data
destinations is transparent to the MAX II device. All other configuration pins
(nCONFIG, nSTATUS, DCLK, DATA[7..0], and CONF_DONE) are connected to every
device in the chain. The configuration signals may require buffering to ensure signal
integrity and prevent clock skew problems. Ensure that the DCLK and DATA lines are
buffered. All devices initialize and enter user mode at the same time because all
device CONF_DONE pins are tied together.
All nSTATUS and CONF_DONE pins are tied together and if any device detects an error,
configuration stops for the entire chain and the entire chain must be reconfigured. For
example, if the first device flags an error on nSTATUS, it resets the chain by pulling its
nSTATUS pin low. This behavior is similar to a single device detecting an error.
