Cyclone V HPS Memory

Question

Hi, I have been researching this all day but I'm still lost or rather unclear so I ask you guys.

Do I need external RAM to use the HPS? Can I not just instantiate on-chip memory and run a bare-metal application from there? I just wanted the BootROM to load my application into on chip memory and run. Is this possible at all?

Thanks in advance!

Yes, look at this doc: https://www.altera.com/content/dam/altera-www/global/en_us/pdfs/literature/hb/cyclone-v/cv_5400a.pdf

Thanks so much! I see it! So now I just have to write a bare-metal application and convert it to a memory initialization file and then set it into the FPGA on chip RAM.  Thank you for the help :D
