Hi,

The SRAM chip is on the DE1 board itself. After downloading the file, maybe using RealTerm, then the file will be saved on the SRAM chip.Here are my problems:

1. How do I load the file from PC to the board through RS232? Is it just load the file using RealTerm and transfer, just that simple?

2. How can I make sure that the file already been loaded to the SRAM? What code i have to write to check?

Thanks!
