9 years ago --- Quote Start --- Hi, I am new to altera fpga, i am working on interfacing parallel flash with cyclone V board. after copying the binary/application from pc to parallel flash i need to run this application on fpga, what will be the best solution? how i can copy the binary/application to fpga and run it. please suggest the Command/APIs or any sequence etc. Thanks, --- Quote End --- I think you need to better understand what an FPGA is and how it is used. It is NOT an application accelerator in the sense that you can copy a PC binary executable into the flash attached to an FPGA and 'run it' (unless of course you already have implemented a full PC CPU and s/w simulator in the FPGA, which is not likely). And just downloading a PC application to an FPGA will not make best use of what an FPGA can do, and achieve, in terms of performance acceleration. Find some good tutorials on FPGAs and their usage.
