What is best to do to test a custom circuit with large amount of data?

Hi everyone, I have implemented a electron-beam data decompression circuit in verilog-hdl. I need to run it and benchmark it with large amount of data (over 200 mega-bytes). I don't have any no...

Thank you for your suggestions.

My circuit is designed to count the clock cycles when a complete compressed file is being loaded into the circuit.

The flash memory on DE4 has only 64mb. Because I have large amount of data to perform benchmark (> 9000 files) I need some kind of file system. FAT-16 of the SD-Card Core should allow me to use 2gb SD-Card. I never thought about using custom-DMA and interrupt to test my circuit. I will look into the designs.

Thanks a lot!!
