4. Turn on the Program/Configure option for the added file.
5. Click Start to download the selected file to the FPGA. Configuration is complete
when the progress bar reaches 100%.
The Quartus II Convert Programming File (CPF) GUI can be used to generate a .pof
file that can use for internal configuration. You can directly program the MAX 10
device’s flash which included Configuration Flash Memory (CFM) and User Flash
Memory (UFM) by using a download cable with the Quartus II software programmer.
