Hello Bhaumik,

I was out of town for a week. Thanks for your reply !

Am using MAX 10 FPGA (10M08S, 144-EQFP) Evaluation Kit, which dont have external memory. According to kit manual, the FPGA has 378 kilobits (Kb) M9K memory and 32 – 172 (KB) user flash memory.

I am not sure, whether I can use M9K memory to store the 'C' code output from Nios-II. user flash memory is only 172kB, where as my application code with simple main function is taking 304kB. [ minimal device driver and 'C' lib ]

I dont think, I can do Nios-II in this kit. Am I right here?

Thank you all !
