C10 GX Passive parallel configuration issue, not using PFL module

Hello and thank you for the reply. I solved this over the past weekend by generating an uncompressed rbf file then, using a (non intel) tool I found on line (srecord-1.65.0-win64) to convert the rbf to an address offset intel hex file format. Then I used the convert programming file Intel tool to combine my Nios executable Hex files and the FPGA (now hex format) files into a single pof, that I used with my MFG FPGA image (with a PFL) to program the FLASH device attached to the FPGA. Using the intel convert programming file tool for direct sof to pof conversion creates data not suitable for a direct FPP loading apparently (by examining the raw files in a binary viewer I confirmed that). It would be nice(r) if quartus could convert sofs directly to hex for this purpose. Until then I will use the third party tool I found.

Thank you again.
