Hi Akaya,

Again, please refer to the MAX 10 User Flash Memory User Guide. The MAX 10 User Flash Memory User Guide has explained clearly the supported erase, read and write operation available.

https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/programmable/us/en/pdfs/literature/hb/max-10/ug_m10_ufm.pdf

I'm not sure what is the difference between "boot program" and "application code" referring to your context here. You can create multiple project as long you need to instantiate the On Chip IP flash in your project design in order to access the CFM and UFM memory block. Again, please refer to AN741 for the available example design that should help to answer your questions:

The design is available from the link below:

Regards,

thank you for the reply...

but the document which you said to refer does not contain any details about the write operation for page section.

for my work the boot and application code, both are different...

so I need to work on page section to store both differently but in the same flash memory..
