Instead of using an external flash or ROM, you can configure the Stratix® V devices through PCIe using CvP. The CvP mode offers the fastest configuration rate and flexibility with the easy-to-use PCIe hard IP block interface. The Stratix® V CvP implementation conforms to the PCIe 100 ms power-up-to-active time requirement.

14 Partial reconfiguration is an advanced feature of the device family. If you are interested in using partial reconfiguration, contact Altera for support.
15 Supported at a maximum clock rate of 62.5 MHz.
