Programmer Object File
.pof The .pof is a proprietary Intel FPGA file type. Use the PFL II IP core via a JTAG header to write
the .pof to an external CFI flash or serial flash device.
Raw Binary File
.rbf You can also use the .rbf with the Avalon-ST configuration scheme and an external host such as
a CPU or microcontroller.
You can program the configuration bitstreams or data in the .rbf file directly into flash via a
third-party programmer. Then, you can use an external host to configure the device with the
Avalon-ST configuration scheme.
If you choose a third-party microprocessor for Avalon-ST configuration, refer to the Avalon Streaming Interfaces in the Avalon
Interface Specifications for protocol details.
