Hi tedh4ddv,

Following a discussion with my colleague, it appears that all you require is the SFL IP for your application. As illustrated below, when generating the .jic file using the "Convert Programming Files" tool, please make sure to leave the start address set to "auto," as shown below. This will enable the IP to autonomously configure the start address for your programming file, relieving you of any concerns in this regard.

During the programming process, you'll notice that the SFL IP is automatically loaded, as demonstrated in the programmer interface below. For more detailed information, please consult the accompanying user guide: 1.3. Programming Single and Multiple Serial Configuration Devices with the Intel® FPGA Serial Flash Loader IP Core

Best regards,

Fakhrul
