21 years agoSRAM in a custom board
Hello, I have a code that runs OK in the Nios development board. It use the SRAM in this board: IDT71V416 Now I'm trying to load the code in a custom board that contains a SRAM that is ve...

In fact the custom board has a little bit faster memory than the Nios development board. I think that is a software problem because I can read and write to the external SRAM (all address memory) with a small C-code in the internal FPGA ram. I've used an oscilloscope to check that the signals really go through. I use NiosII IDE with a download JTAG cable. Is there any other way to put the .txt .rodata and .rwdata in the external SRAM and check it? Maybe it is due to a SOPC configuration, but I have selected reset and exception address to the external Sram, and selected "unspecified board" as a target. The sram is conected to the avalon bus as it was in the standard configuration. I'm going to make a program to turn on a led. With my C-code I will copy the memory address of the internal ram to the Sram, and then programm the .sof file of the fpga and see if it reads the external Sram. It's a little crazy but I don't know what to do.
