21 years ago> what's the use of on-chip ROM.
There's no write enable ... so it won't get corrupted by code that doesn't play nice. Basically, it's useful for code/data that must remain consistent when a device (re)configuration does not occur (e.g. software reset/watchdog reset) ... otherwise, there's little motivation to use on-chip ROM over on-chip RAM. > because whenever we there is a power off, data will vanish! Well ... this is really depends on your point-of-view I guess ... but once the Cyclone/Stratix device is configured the on-chip ROM is available ... if the device isn't configured ... then it really doesn't matter ;-) Regards, --Scott
