POF file format specification

Hello all, I'm a IC support engineer. I would like to understand better the POF file format in order to support the 10M08SA device. I found the fmt_pof.pdf, but it provides just a short overview....

Hi LZANU,

The is no other document available for details explanation on POF file format. I'm apologize for inconvenience.

Basically, the POF file is used to program an external flash device configuration, like a flash or EEPROM device (maintain its contents once power is disconnected)

And SOF file is used to programs the FPGA fabric directly (FPGA is SRAM cell). (its contents not maintain once power is disconnected)

Cheers
