Testing DDR-2 with NIOS II

Hello everyone, Is there any C code to test only the DDR-2 SDRAM with NIOS II ? if not, which macros should I use ? I want to write/read on a specific address on the memory. Thank you i...

Also don't rely on Nios II alone to test your memory. It will do simple tests like looking for short or open traces, slow read and writes, etc... Once that all passes the next step is to test the memory with a DMA which will perform accesses more efficiently and therefore stress the memory more.
