In my opinion, FPGA can be configured without a cable, it is the PS.

I did so using MCU(8051) several years before.The steps are following:

1.translate configure file(like .pof) to hex;

2.copy data in hex file to a array in C file included in MCU project;

3.realize the configure timing using c code(function like write_fpga);

4.then download .out file to MCU,and excute.

MCU(8051) will write the data in .pof to FPGA,and finally FPGA be configured and go.
