Struggling with boot from initialized onchip RAM

1. Point your Reset Address at your onchip memory.

2. Compile your code.

3. If it's too large, optimize it.

- Use alt_io stuff, small C Library, reduced device drivers, etc.

4. Create your memory HEX file.

- Know that you "may" have to manually move it into the root of your QII project.

5. Recompile your QII design.

- If you're lucky and all you've changed is the HEX memory initialization file, this step should be quick.

6. Program your FPGA.

7. Open a nios2-terminal and you should see proper output.
