Remote Update Cyclone III from EPCS

I don't have a Nios processor.

I use some simple logic in the FPGA and an external processor.

I know the external processor is not triggering the reconfiguration at random times because I am manually forcing the event by writing to a specific address. I never get an unexpected reconfiguration when running with the Factory image.

Can you point me to any documentation that shows what the default state of the watchdog is? I am not enabling it, but it really seems like that is what is triggering the reconfiguration.

Thanks.
