FPGA configuration using FlashMemory that JIC file does not start from 0x00 start address- possible?

Hi, My FPGA device is Cyclone V - 5CEFA7U19I7. My Flash Memory device is MT25QL256ABA1EW7 (Micron). Will the FPGA config if the JIC file does not start from a 0x00 start address? Thanks.

Yes, when you set start address from 0x20 0000. It will be burned into address starting 0x20 0000.

I'm not talking about burning Flash.
I am talking about the configuration process of the FPGA (AS) from the Flash when the JIC file starts from 0x0020_0000 in the Flash device.


Did the FPGA in AS mode know how to run on all memory addresses from 0x0000_0000 to 0x0020_0000 and then identify the JIC file (at 0x0020_0000) and burn itself?


Assume that there are no more files/information on the Flash device other than the JIC file starting at 0x0020_0000.
