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....

You aren't going to get much of an answer from Altera/Intel on the POF file format without an NDA.

That being said, this document: http://matthieu.benoit.free.fr/dataio/2900/2939u_book1.pdf provides as detailed a description of the POF file format as exists in public.

Look under 'Translation Formats' for the POF Code 14 section.

What you won't find tho is detailed per device descriptions of the format of type 17 records. Only Altera/Intel can give you that.
