Table 4: Option Bits Sector Format
Offset address 0x80 stores the .pof version required for programming flash memory. This .pof version applies to all
eight pages of the configuration data. The PFL IP core requires the .pof version to perform a successful FPGA
configuration process.
Sector Offset Value
0x00–0x03 Page 0 start address
0x04–0x07 Page 1 start address
0x08–0x0B Page 2 start address
0x0C–0x0F Page 3 start address
0x10–0x13 Page 4 start address
0x14–0x17 Page 5 start address
0x18–0x1B Page 6 start address
0x1C–0x1F Page 7 start address
0x20–0x7F Reserved
0x80

.pof version
0x81–0xFF Reserved
The Quartus II Convert Programming File tool generates the information for the .pof version when you
convert the .sof files to .pof files.
The value for the .pof version generated by the Quartus II software version 7.1 onwards is 0x03. However,
if you turn on the enhanced bitstream-compression feature, the value for the .pof version is 0x04.
Caution:
Do not overwrite any information in the option bits sector to prevent the PFL IP core from
malfunctioning, and always store the option bits in unused addresses in the flash memory
device.

.pof version occupies only one byte in the option bits sector.
