G'day dglazar,

Thank you for this suggestion. That's a good idea! Bundling the image BMPe with the rest of the configuration data, and allow Quartus Programmer to install it for me, would be easier than manually transferring the file to SDRAM before each run. (I know it initializes on-chip memory, but does Quartus also pre-write SDRAM?)

My first project is a baseline iPipe into which I will subsequently insert the Circuit Under Evaluation.

Ultimately, we'll want to connect a camera to the front end.

For starters, I need to be able to play with a variety of 1080p test images.

So manually downloading is OK.

Thank you again for taking the time to comment on this issue.

Cheers --todd
