Cyclone III device family offers remote system upgrade without an external
controller. The remote system upgrade capability in Cyclone III device family allows
system upgrades from a remote location. Soft logic (either the Nios II embedded
processor or user logic) implemented in Cyclone III device family can download a
new configuration image from a remote location, store it in configuration memory,
and direct the dedicated remote system upgrade circuitry to start a reconfiguration
cycle. The dedicated circuitry performs error detection during and after the
configuration process, and can recover from an error condition by reverting to a safe
configuration image. The dedicated circuitry also provides error status information.
Cyclone III devices support remote system upgrade in the AS and AP configuration
scheme. Cyclone III LS devices support remote system upgrade in the AS
configuration scheme only.

Upgrades in Cyclone III Devices
Cyclone III LS devices offer design security features which play a vital role in the large
and critical designs in the competitive military and commercial environments.
Equipped with the configuration bit stream encryption and anti-tamper features,
Cyclone III LS devices protect your designs from copying, reverse engineering and
tampering. The configuration security of Cyclone III LS devices uses AES with 256-bit
security key.
