The data sheet I use is 512K , which contains address and data as the picture I attached.

The data sheet was made with VC++, the format boss gave to me is " .DAT" , you can open it in UltraEdit.

I plan to use jtag to download the data sheet into FPGA , then the FPGA write the data into the flash. Problem is I don't know whether the Flash Programmer of Nios IDE can get it.

The data written into the Flash will be read by FPGA , meanwhile FPGA works.

I had used MCU to write W29C040 and DS1250Y-70. It is the first time I use Nios , the materials I get from altera is just using Flash to configure the FPGA but not to store data as I said.

That is my trouble bothering me for a long time.

Look forward to your reply!

Thanks very much.
