Honored ContributorSoC component
Hi every body,
please i need a confirmation before i start to create my SoC. In attached picture wich represent the component that i need in my SoC. I don't know really, in each SoC it is indispensable to use a ext flash or SSRAM. In my application i need just a NiosII processor, and the onchip memory. For this reason i try to minimize my own SoC.11 Replies
Altera_ForumIf your software is small enough, you can try and fit it in the on-chip RAM. But you'll me more comfortable with an external SSRAM.
If you only use the on-chip memory, then you don't need a flash interface. The on-chip memory can be initialized during the FPGA configuration and you don't need a bootloader to load the software from a flash.
