I have an NCO function that plays waveforms from an sp ram that I initialize using a mif file. I then recapture the waveform using an ADC and store it in another SP ram. I would like to test different waveforms, the problem is it is very time consuming to, load a mif file, recompile, run, etc... So would it be possible to use a TCL script and the in system memory content editor to do this?

Create an SOPC System containing an JTAG-to-Avalon-MM master bridge, and your RAM components.
You can then write to the DAC RAM and read from the ADC RAM using Tcl scripts running under SystemConsole.
If you make the RAMs dual-ported, then you can read/write to them from the SOPC system clock domain, and the DAC and ADC can read/write to the other port from their respective clock domains.
If your development kit has an ethernet interface, then you can also consider using a NIOS II processor and a TCP/IP connection to perform much the same tasks.
