Can I open a file for reading thru the JTAG link?

Hi all, For a test I want to download the content of a file onto RAM. Is it possible? If yes, what file path should I use? Regards, Kwok

maybe simplest solution is using a standard uart. ok it is slow, but maybe ok just for some tests.

are you using the compress option on the config file generation (cyclone?)?

At the moment I would agree that this is the easiest method for doing this. If you put the bitrate up to something like 115200 then it's not so bad (might want to put error correction into the stream though).
