3.1.7.1.5. Implementing Page Mode and Option Bits in the CFI Flash Memory Device

The following figure shows a sample layout of a .pof with three pages. The end addresses depend on the density of the flash memory device. For different density devices refer to the Byte Address Range for CFI Flash Memory Devices with Different Densities table below. The option bits follow the configuration data in memory.

Figure 29. Implementing Page Mode and Option Bits in the CFI Flash Memory Device

The following figure shows the layout of the option bits for a single page. Because the start address must be on an 8 KB boundary, bits 0-12 of the page start address are set to zero and are not stored in the option bits.

Figure 30. Page Start Address, End Address, and Page-Valid Bit Stored as Option BitsThe Page-Valid bits indicate whether each page is successfully programmed. The Parallel Flash Loader II Intel® FPGA IP sets the Page-Valid bits after successfully programming the pages.
