    Hi, Junbum


    You can find the start and end address of CFM1 (for your application image) in the .map file when you generate the .pof.


    You need to copy and paste the block with above start and end address into a new .rpd (for the application image to be updated remotely). But in newer Quartus versions, you don't have to do that, there is a .rpd automatically generated for CFM1.


    You need to create a quartus.ini in your project directory, and put below line in it, before you do covert programming file to .pof from your application .hex.

    PGMIO_SWAP_HEX_BYTE_DATA=ON

    There was no problem with the mentioned matters.
    Even if adress was set to a constant value, the flash was not erased as well.
