PIN Connections to SSRAM

Hi,

I am using Nios II Embedded evaluation Kit (Cyclone III) (EP3C25F324C6)..

My Intension is to read and write data to /from the SSRAM on the board ... in byte manner

Now I have to use SRAM_D0-SRAM_D1 pins to configure the device (SSRAM) to read the data from the SSRAM...

So ,I changed in the device settings (User IO).. to use those pins as user IO . But even then I am unable to get the last byte value correctly..

So, Please suggest me how to use those pins correctly ...

Please help me out of this issue ..

Waiting for a reply ..

Thanks,

Srinath.

    Check whether Byte enables are playing any role in your code. Also, when you say last byte, Do u mean last byte of data that is written to SRAM? What Size{in Bytes} of data have you tried writing to SRAM?

    I really wonder whether last byte is written properly or not!!:mad:

    To confirm.Try this out:

    Write data in multiple bursts linearly and read linearly to observe whether the last byte of every burst is missed out/ not!

    Did you understand the cotrol timing requirements of SSRAM from the datasheet?
