    Hi,

    that's the FPGA you are using, but what about the board on which the FPGA is mounted ?

    Kind regards

    I assume that the board has DDR Ram on it. In this case you have to implement a design with a memory controller. Altera offers some controllers for free with the Quartus SW.

    Hi,

    thanks for the hint.

    But although this might be true, i´m still looking for a way to use additional ddr-ram. something like a 2Gb ddr-ram. (the normal ones you use in your desktop pc´s).

    I know that i should be somehow able to connect the ddr-ram with the I/O banks of the board,but i don´t know how.

    thx

    The board offers overall 0.27 Mbyte Memory. I need definitely more.!
