4.6.4.1. Listing the Predefined Safe Locations: Command-Line Interface

In the command-line interface, run the quartus_fid command with the following syntax: 
quartus_fid -c 1 -i "@1=<sof_file>" --seu_list

The listed valid sector index is in decimal. Convert the sector index into hexadecimal format, when you use it in the mailbox command. For example, sector 14 = 0xE.
