http://www.alteraforum.com/images/smilies/eek.gif http://www.alteraforum.com/images/smilies/eek.gif http://www.alteraforum.com/images/smilies/eek.gif in basic way, you have to access devices via address.
if you want file-system, you have to create file-system some how.
there is several way like Linux/uC-OSII...
you can create file-system by your self(it's difficult)

you can read and write data via UART(RS-232C) , JTAG, SPI, I2C...
