Honored ContributorTopic: HELP, how to store data into the memory(example flashor any memory on my fpga dev kit) and read out the data when needed
Example my is data is 4 bit 0110, 0111,0000…… Anyone can advise me how to start? Any tutorial online canshare? Any mega wizard plug-in Current using the Cyclone v GX fpga dev kit & quartus IIweb package 13 software Thanks J
Honored Contributoryou want to store data from the NIOS to the Memory or from your own hardware?
Honored ContributorHonored ContributorOkay, you want to store data to the 512Mb Flash Device.
But from where? From your own Hardwareblock in the FPGA or from the NIOS?Honored ContributorWith NIOS II, which is a processor, from Altera Quartus, that you can "build" in your FGPA. It is quite easy to write to flash and read back.
It is easier with your Altera dev kit. There are examples of NIOS II software that you can modify for that. Look at your "getting started" book included with your dev kit in pure hardware (no processor), it is a little bit difficult : you have to handle sectors, to respect the timing of writing to flash...Honored ContributorHonored ContributorSee here:

FYI: QuartusII is the Software where you can Write your own VHDL/Verilog/etc Code and where you synthesise this code to get this HW-Description to your FPGA. NIOSII is a Softcoreprocessor which acts like a "normal" Microprocessor but which is in the FPGA if you put him there...
