Is a SRAM necessary in a cycloneiii?

Is a SRAM necessary in a cycloneiii system? Can I use a sdram as a program memory instead use a sram? Or can I use two individual sdrams in the same system?

If your application is very small, it could fit in on-chip memory... But even the biggest Cyclone III has about 300 kbytes of ram.

If you need external memory you can use sram or sdram. Just pick the right controller when you design your sopc system. You can also use several chips, or combine sram and sdram, depending on your needs.
