Initialise external SRAM for DE2 board

Hello all,

I was wondering if I can initialise external 512kB of SRAM of DE2 board for my application as I can do for onchip RAM/ROM. I donot want to use Qsys and want to initialise SRAM as my application does not involve Nios II processor.

    It's not possible directly, but you can write your own component that includes a kind of DMA, connected to the SRAM. This component would load the data into the SRAM at startup.
