Hi, The address span extender is the correct way to solve this issue, Please watch the following video to know how to use the address span extender correctly. The example uses a 4GB DDR4 with NIOS II. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmZIZ6VfPCU Regards.

Hi,
The video is unavailable. Is there any document/ video on how to use Address span extender ip?

Most of IPs come with reference to documentation.  Check top right cornet for document button.

Just keep in mind that you need to have control slave port enabled at all times otherwise the PD will glitch and think that full DDR address space is exposed to Nios.  Also, check the following post on enabling this IP as memory device.  NIOSII using the FPGA-to-HPS SDRAM Bridge via Address Span Extender

Hi AC1

The correct IP to use is the Address Span Extender IP.

You could find more information in the link below:
