I looked through "AN 521: Cyclone III Active Parallel Remote System Upgrade Reference note" and the reference design.

But I cannot see from the design block diagram that specific design component read this pin. Is it the PFL of the Remote_Update function?

If I want to use Remote System Upgrade with Active Serial scheme, should I just substitude the Parralel Flash loader component by the serial flash loader, or I should change the User Control Logic block either?

Thank you.
