SRAM/SDRAM DE1 board.

Hi !!

I need some help about SRAM/SDRAM memory, the thing I want to do is to read from any address on memory and send this data to led, and write data into memory from switchs(using DE1 board and VHDL), I dont want to use NIOS processor,

Thanks for help...

    What you need is a good tutorial on the C language, and then you can have a look at Altera's Nios tutorial. You should find there everything you need.

    ok, but i want to use vhdl (no nios II), what I need is a sdram controller in vhdl. I Thing i need to do is to writa a single data and after read the memory to recover data, I need to use it like an example to make after more complex things. Thanks !!!!

    Sorry I read your message too fast, I thought you meant you wanted to use the Nios processor.

    In that case the SRAM is the easiest to interface. Just provide an address and read or write the data using the control signals. The SRAM datasheet should give you all the information you need.

    To use the SDRAM you'll need a controller. There are some controllers in Quartus' Megawizard but I'm not sure there is any for SDR chips. You may have more luck on the Opencores site.
