Honored ContributorRead binary file to binary vector array
If I have a binary txt file is there a way in Quartus to read the file and store it as, say, an array of binary vectors? Thanks.

My data is an external binary txt file and I need to figure out how to read that into a binary vector array (thereby initializing it) and then use that inside a process where I write the data to SDRAM. Is that what you're referring to which can't be done?
