You can configure Arria® 10 devices through PCIe using Configuration via Protocol (CvP). The Arria® 10 CvP implementation conforms to the PCIe* 100 ms power-up-to-active time requirement.

28 Enabling either compression or design security features affects the maximum data rate. Refer to the Arria® 10 Device Datasheet for more information.
29 Encryption and compression cannot be used simultaneously.
30 Partial reconfiguration is an advanced feature of the device family. If you are interested in using partial reconfiguration, contact Altera for support.
31 Partial configuration can be performed only when it is configured as internal host.
32 Supported at a maximum clock rate of 100 MHz.
