If you are using Altera FPGA the onchip-memory can be initialised by a hex file, you can configure that option in the SOPC-Builder settings of the module. If you generate yourself a compatible hex-file then you can have a picture in the FPGA right from the start. (works fine for 640x480 here, I scale it in the ouputchain afterwards)

Good luck!
