Hi MSHATZ,

I don't think I have good answers for you this time, but I think somewhere in the development kit collateral it says that sof2flash in 9.1 does not support Stratix IV GX. I guess in order to support it, they have to create a new --pfl option just to indicate that this is for PFL and there'll possible be multiple sof files in the flash.

Also not sure why the sof2flash is slow, possibly due to the sheer size of the programming file (considering Stratix IV GX is a big device?) I'm not sure though, but if you have some comparison, you should probably report it back to Altera.

Thanks.
