hi, I have developed a system using sopc builder using my own component (processor) in addition to nios and other memory/peripheral devices. I am trying to write my regsiter file contents into memor...

Here is the interface between sdram and my processor: master_address_dmem:OUT std_logic_vector(31 downto 0); this is the address to the sdram 0 - 0x0000FFFF space is used for data 0x0001FFFF - onward is reserved for debug symbol i,e; for dumping register contents. The following process reads the register contents when reg_debug (dip switch) is asserted. The reg_count is index to register file and reg_count is also contacted to data memory address as a least signifcant nibble. process(reg_debug, clock) begin if clock'event and clock = '1' then if reg_debug = '1' then if lock = '0' then reg_count <= reg_count + 1; end if; end if; end if; end process; lock <= master_waitrequest_pmem or master_waitrequest_dmem; master_read_dmem:OUT std_logic; This the data memory read signal is asserted when loading from the memory. master_write_dmem:OUT std_logic; asserted when writing to memory (when storing or debugging ) master_write_dmem <= data_mem_wr_en or reg_debug or pc_debug; pc-debug is also connected to a dip switch master_readdata_dmem: IN std_logic_vector(15 downto 0); data returned from data memory. master_writeddata_dmem: OUT std_logic_vector(15 downto 0); data to be written to data memory master_writeddata_dmem <= op1_dc when reg_debug = '1' else -- writing register file contents pc(15 downto 0) when pc_debug = '1' else -- wrting pc halfword data_to_data_mem; -- normal writing to data memory. master_waitrequest_dmem:IN std_logic; this wait signal locks the processor and freezes all synchornous processes. I hope that this explanation will help in understanding my problem. If you need any particular portion of VHDL portion, kindly indicate. Thanks
