EPCS as program memory

Hi, Whether probably to use EPCS as slow memory only for reading? As fast memory using on-chip memory. Sorry for my English))

Hi Alex..

It is possible to use the EPCS device for program memory. Depending on the device family, this can be done through either the EPCS program pins (for Cyclone III and newer) or through secondary pins on older families.

If using the NIOS II cpu, there's a EPCS controller peripheral in the SOPC builder that aids in using the EPCS for program memory.

Regards

Peter
