remeber the avalon addressing : memory (dynamic ) --- Quote End --- link broken we have set user logic as "avalon memory slave" so it seems be ok. what it does mean, dynamic addressing? also, does anybody knows, is it possible to connect one 16 bit ram or flash chip and use it as program memory. i mean, does nios make two access cycles to make 32 bit word or it will use memory assuming 32 bit ram?
