New Contributorpof file size and address in flash
hello
I am trying to determine the beginning address and finale address of the pof in the flash
- how can I know where the pof file is stored in the flash,
is it different for every FPGA? - how can i know the size of the pof file stored in the flash?
Hi,
In your case the address in flash is 0x0 which is where it is stored. You may refer to this link for additional information :https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/programmable/683698/21-1-19-1-0/implementing-page-in-the-flash-pof.html
Hope this clarifies your doubts.
Thank you.
Regards,
Kelly

Hi,
Welcome to Intel's Forum.
You may check the DESIGN.map file to check the .pof file stored and the information of the addresses.
All the addresses in this file are byte addresses.
You may also refer to the community's comment below to locate the address information.
Thank you and hope to hear on your findings.

I can't find the DESIGN.map file... where it is stored?

It is stored in your design's place and route directory, along with all your other generated files.
And replace the letters DESIGN with your design's name. Or look for a file with the .map extension in your project directory.

After I finish a full design compilation and generating the .sof/.pof/.jic files, I am left with a file DESIGN.map.
It's contents are (this is from a 13.0sp1 CycloneII compile):
BLOCK START ADDRESS END ADDRESS Page_0 0x00000000 0x00076CA1 Notes: - Data checksum for this conversion is 0x00D518FB - All the addresses in this file are byte addressesWhich shows that the data starts at 0x0 in the config prom and is length is 0x76CA2 bytes.
