Honored ContributorMAX10 Flash Memory specifications
There is some inconsistency between the various MAX10 documents and what Quartus states for the amount of User Flash Memory (UFM) that's available.
As an example, I've been looking at the 10M08DAF484C8GES, which is used in Arrow's BeMicroMAX10. According to the MAX10 overview, the 10M08 has 1376Kb of UFM (though a footnote states that this is the combined User and Configuration Flash Memory). This is also what the MAX10 Flash Memory User Guide states. However, both Arrow and Mouser state that the UFM is only 256Kb. Further, when you select the device in Quartus, it states that the UFM is 2496Kb (actually, 2555904 bits). As it happens, this somewhat lines up with the Flash Memory User Guide, which states that the Configuration Flash Memory is 2240Kb. If you add the 256Kb that Arrow and Mouser state, you end up with the 2496Kb that Quartus states. So, which is correct and which isn't?13 Replies
Altera_Forumuuhu, and if you configure it in "Single compressed image" mode you will have 1376 Kbites of UFM under your command. but i don't see real reason why to use compressed mode. because sooner or later your project will fill the MAX10 and you will have to write full sized configuration file.

... and it depends on the configuration mode that you are currently using.
I'm using the same board with dual compressed images, and as UFM and CFM share the same space I have only 256kBits of UFM available. Best regards, tfranke https://www.alteraforum.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=13162 - Altera_Forum
in the ordering code 10M08DAF484C8GES you see DA on sixth and seventh position describing special key features of the device. this is one of 6 possible variations of max 10, which goes like this:
MAX 10M08 ________________ USER FLASH BITS SC single supply, compact features 262144 bits SF single supply, flash features 2555904 bits SA single supply, analog features 2555904 bits DC dual supply, compact features same as SC DF dual supply, flash features same as SF DA dual supply, analog features same as SA
