Format of initialization file for MAX10:UFM simulation

[ken_51]

Device: MAX10 10M02SCE144
Environment Windows 11/Quartus Prime Lite 17.0/ModelSim ALTERA STARTER EDITION 10.5b

I am using Altera On-Chip Flash IP. I want to set the initial values for my UFM. I understand that for a real device, the initialization file should be specified as .hex or .mif. However, I do not know the detailed format of the initialization file .dat for simulation.

According to the flash memory user guide, the format of the .dat file is "32-bit data width file: use word address". But is this file binary or text? If text, what are the delimiters? All these details are unknown.

Can you please give me the details of the .dat file? A sample would be even more helpful. Thank you in advance.

I was able to solve this problem on my own.

The file format of the .dat file for the simulation is as follows
- Text file.
- One line of data per line. Next data on a new line. 4 bytes hexadecimal.

Thank you very much.
