Thank you for the reply! --- Quote Start --- You need to ask yourself where any such parameters would actually come from in a 'real' system. Remember this is all code that is expected to be loaded at 'boot' time onto an fpga. --- Quote End --- Akhil>> Yeah even I have the same thoughts on a real embedded system, where the application code may not need to accept any parameters. I am having a software RSA algorithm running on an FPGA board (just to capture the timings). So was just curious about the data which has to be encrypted and that has to be sent to the application code. Never mind, I can generate the data inside the application code itself, it is not a biggy. Thanks! --- Quote Start --- IMHO Altera have added far too much code to give standalone programs what appears to be a POSIX (Unix-like) execution environment. This is also responsible for the 'hello world' program being 60+k, not a few 100 bytes. --- Quote End --- Akhil>> I agree and I am thankful to Altera for supporting the application layer programs like C/C++. It makes the execution environment looks more neat, atleast for me. Best, Akhil
