Loading data into memory

i'd like to load the sdram on my board (a de2 board) with a specific file on my pc. as far as i can see there's no tool supplied that can accomplish this simply (i could probably mess around with linker scripts or some such thing but i'd prefer a simpler method). i tried using the jtag uart however it's rather slow i wrote a small c program to run on the nios ii that just reads characters from it and then on my pc piped a file into the niosii-terminal program which works but it'll take several minutes to upload 1mb and i'd prefer something faster if possible.

so my question is, given a file on my pc can i add this into the build somehow so it gets loaded into sdram (or indeed another memory area) or perform such a task after the build? if not how i can i write to the jtag uart faster (i get the feeling the niosii-terminal program is responsible for the slow transmission)?
