External Memory without BGA?

Hi, i need external memory for a MAX10 FPGA (10M50SCE144I7G). I am not able to solder BGA packages. Is it possible, to use a SDRAM with this device? Only the BGA packages have a memory...

Fine, but don't bite off more than you can chew. With a full on FPGA you also need to get multiple power rails powered up correctly and there's configuration to deal with too. Get a board or two with a simple CPLD designed and working before you tackle that big of a project.
