Hi bobo,

see thread

problems uploading flash memory

To convert a .sof to a .flash file, use the following command in Quartus II 9.1 SP1:

sof2flash --pfl --optionbit=<option bit address offset> --input=<your SOF.sof> --output=<output.flash> --offset=<desired image offset>

option --pfl adds four bytes before configuration data. These bytes are used by parallel flash loader to determine wether a compressed or uncompressed bitstream is used.
