Cyclone II - IR drop debug

Hi guys I was wondering if there is any way to validate the FPGA (Cyclone II-35 in this case) configuration after it has been working in user mode for some time. We've got a problem happen...

Configuration readback isn't possible with Altera FPGA, but the error detection CRC feature available with Cyclone II gives reliable information about configuration integrity. Refer to the Cyclone II hardware manual and AN 357 detection using crc in altera fpgas.
