Honored ContributorInitialization of on chip memories
Hi all, Take a "fast" example, and add an additional on-chip memory, let's call it "common_ram". Then, from the Nios II IDE, create a helloworld project, and add a C variable definitio...

Honored ContributorPaolo,
after compiling your software, a 'common_ram.hex' file is being created in your FPGA directory. You have to run SOPC builder, where you had defined the on-chip memory. Now a 'common_ram.vhd' file is present, which contains your initializing data. After compiling your FPGA in quartus, your memory will be initialized. This is the way it works with on-chip ROM. I hope this works with RAM too. Mike
