Max10 UFM Initialization

I'm a beginner. I have a Max10 Eval board and am working on interfacing to the UFM. I'm having an issue with troubleshooting and thought if I could initialize a value I could at least try to read it back as a first step. Would Quartus' IN-System Memory Editor work to initialize the IP or will I have to create my own .hex file? The formatting is a little cumbersome, so I'd like to at least have some known values in the flash and not take the chance that my initialization failed without me knowing.
