Manual checksum verification of CFM0

I am working on some post-build scripting for generating firmware update programming files for the Max 10 series FPGA.  My goal is to generate 2 separate files: POF file, for use with USB Blaster. ...

My idea is, since POF and RPD (raw data) contain all the same data and produce identical end results loaded into FPGA's flash memory, then it should be possible to calculate the same checksum.

In order to do something like this, I need to know how the usercode checksum is calculated in the POF file.  Then I can emulate the same procedure for the raw data for our consistency.
