Hi Soloni,

I am not an expert but I have just successfully added on-chip SRAM to my design and it works fine. Here is the procedure I used:

1. In the Components Library pane of the SOPC Builder window expand the group "Memories and Memory Controllers".

2. Select On-Chip Memory (RAM or ROM) from the On-Chip sub-group.

3. A dialog box will open that lets you set the RAM configuration to suite your design.

4. Click Finish when you are done with the configuration and your newly created On-Chip RAM module will be added in the main SOPC pane. You can rename it if you prefer.

5. Connect the module to other modules in your design. 
(I already had a Nios II CPU module instantiated, so my on-chip memory was automatically connected to it.)

Good Luck!
