Hi,

Interesting post. I used max II for 2 years and never needed/realised this flash feature.

I just looked it up. I will first instantiate the flash(choose operation as flash programmer) then will get the interface and connect that to a counter designed normally in vhdl that gets its start value from flash and updates the flash continuosly as it runs. This is just my gut-feeling, haven't tried it yet.
