Mabye you won't believe me, but it's a long time since I'm trying to find out something from googling everywhere.

I cannot find anything in Altera's site or elsewhere... regarding loading images in memory or using VGA ;-(

I created a NIOS 2 cpu with VGA, SRAM, ... it seems all to work fine

Any suggestion?

Many thanks in advance.
