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,

Yes, you're right. MAX 10 Family have internal flash memory.(you no need to buy extra flash :) )

If you program the POF file, the design maintain its contents once power is disconnected

If you program the SOF file, the design do not maintain its contents once power is disconnected

If you have a concern about UFM & CFM, you may refer to this link (https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/programmable/us/en/pdfs/literature/hb/max-10/ug_m10_ufm.pdf)

Basically, the size of UFM smaller compare to CFM.

If you have any specific question, you can ask here.

Cheers
