DE0-nano-SoC - Is it possible to reconfigure it at run-time?

Hi all,

as the title says, I would like to know that before buying.

Thanks!

    So I've found this in the manual:

    --- Quote Start ---

    If developers wish to configure FPGA from an application software running on Linux, the MSEL[4:0]needs to be setto “01010”before the programming process begins. If developers using the "Linux Console with frame buffer" or "Linux LXDE Desktop" SD Card image, the MSEL[4:0]needs to be set to “00000” before the board is powered on.

    --- Quote End ---

    So basically the first option is what I want and the second one is the standard download the bitstream from PC?

    Is therefore missing the possibility to configure the FPGA from Quartus?
