Hi,

Are you sure that you want to use a hardware language to read and write to off-chip mem?

I would use a simple c program in the nios environment. For starters, you could use the IOWR and IORD functions to write and read to/from memory. The address range for the memory is specified in sopc builder.

Hope that helps.
