3.1.6.1.5. Storing Option Bits
The PFL II IP core requires you to allocate space in the flash memory device for option
bits. The option bits sector contains information about the start address for each page,
the .pof version used for flash programming, and the Page-Valid bits. You must
specify the options bits sector address in the flash memory device when converting
the .sof files to a .pof and creating a PFL II design.
Table 12. 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 II IP core requires the .pof version to perform a
successful FPGA configuration process.

The Intel Quartus Prime 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 for Intel Stratix 10 is 0x05.
Caution: Do not overwrite any information in the option bits sector to prevent the PFL II 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.
