How to view a configured FPGA contents?

Hi,

I have a board with Cyclone II and its config. Flash mem. What I want to do now is to verify if the contents of the config data stream (original is a POF file) is the same to the POF file I have on my PC.

Is there anyway to extract the FPGA contents back to a POF file so that I can do a binary comparation?

I need your soon advice.

TIA

    Hello

    You could go to Quartus Programmer, select your .POF and check the "Verify" box only. Click on Start and it will compare your file with the one from the Flash
