How to load an Image in RAM of Intel Max 10 FPGA

Hi,
I had used the IP Catalogue in Quartus Prime Lite (22.1) to instantiate a 1-port RAM. Now, i would like to store an Image into it, as far as i know there is only two types of input we can give that is .mif file or .hex file. I am not able to create the Intel Format Hexadecimal File to load in the RAM. Can anyone please help me, how can i convert my image into Intel Format Hexadecimal File that can be loaded. Or is there any alternate solution ?

Thank You.

    When you say you are not able to create the file, what do you mean? In Quartus, just select File menu -> New and select to create either a .mif or .hex. Fill in the table with the RAM contents you want, save the file, then point the parameter editor for the RAM to the file you created.

    Hi,

    What do you mean by 'load an image' ? Image of what ?

    As mentioned by sstrell, Quartus gives you option to create a new .mif or .hex file. Did you try it?


    Regards
