Hello, I wanted to use 10M02SC-M153 with an application requiring initialized ROM.

Also found that "Compact Devices" do not support memory initialisation for a ROM made from internal RAM-blocks.

10M02SA-M153 does not exist (analog+flash) that supports memory initialisation >> I would have to use bigger 10M04SA-M153

Alternatively, I plan to use on-chip user flash UFM of 10M02SC to implement initialized ROM.

ufm = iniitialized with file.hex/.mif >> this compiles into bitstream .pof and will program the ROM in the ufm, right ?

In my design I will have to use "on-chip-flash-ip" avalon-mm to read from ufm.

So far (design busy) I don not see any warnings/errors that this scheme is not ok .....
