    As far as I know, the only option to import hex files is for ROM/RAM initialization.

    For what do you want the .hex files ?

    Is it a processor executable ?

    FPGA bitstream ?

    RAM initialization ?

    ROM initialization ?

    State machine encoding ?

    One more question: by hex, do you mean a file in Intel HEX format or just a text file with hexadecimal data?

    Hi everyone,

    I have a quartus project including fft megacore and some other vhdl files.

    I want to import all the project to simulink;

    when I do this with HDL Import bloc, I got many warnings like this one:

    Could not find RAM initialization file 'fft_opt_twr1.hex'

    What can I do to avoid these warnings

    Put the .hex files in the same directory as the other files.

    Or simply correct the path so that it points to the correct place.
