Can I convert a CFI flash .pof to a .hex file when I need to program a CFI flash memory by an external CPU, but not by the Parallel Flash Loader (PFL)?

Description

Yes, you can convert a CFI flash memory .pof to a .hex file.

The utility to convert .pof to .hex is part of quartus_cpf.exe.


The command line is:

quartus_cpf -c <pof_file_base_name>.pof <hex_file_base_name>.hexout.

Note that the target file must have the \'hexout\' extension.
