Scheme
In these modes, the host system must send a DCLK that is ×4 the data rate.
Remote system upgrade is only available in the Fast AS configuration scheme. Only remote update mode is
supported when using the Fast AS configuration scheme. Local update mode is not supported.

configuration scheme.
If your system already contains a common flash interface (CFI) flash
memory, you can use it for the Stratix III device configuration storage as
well. The MAX II parallel flash loader (PFL) feature in MAX II devices
provides an efficient method to program CFI flash memory devices
through the JTAG interface and the logic to control configuration from
the flash memory device to the Stratix III device. Both PS and FPP
configuration modes are supported using this PFL feature.
For more information on PFL, refer to
Flash Loader with the Quartus II

Configuration Data Decompression
Stratix III devices support configuration data decompression, which
saves configuration memory space and time. This feature allows you to
store compressed configuration data in configuration devices or other
memory and transmit this compressed bitstream to Stratix III devices.
During configuration, the Stratix III device decompresses the bitstream in
real time and programs its SRAM cells.
