    You can do it with remote update feature.

    Refer to Application Note AN521

    You can reconfigure Cyclone III FPGAs. However, your hardware design needed to include the option to implement that feature.

    Is your video panel system already designed? How does the Cyclone III get configured now?

    Cheers,
