DE2 board VGA Dispaly

[Altera_Forum]

Hello All, 

 I am trying to use the board's SRAM to store an image and dispaly it on the screen.  I designed a project using QuartusII and was able to manage the VGA dispaly timing. I used a reference design from John Loomis Webpage. http://www.johnloomis.org/digitallab/vgalab/vgalab3/vgalab3.html which  is very helpful and nice. However, I am having a problem in dowloading the raw image file to the SRAM. My question is:  How can I get a typical 640 X 480 bitmap image to be stored in the SRAM?  I tried to use Terasic ImgConv, but it doesn't work :(    I appricate your help.   Thanks

Regarding access, I have not done this, but I would imagine you probably need to write a device driver or use a device driver (like maybe what is in my-first_hps-fpga).  

 Which lcd are you using? The Ardunio ones typically use a spi interface, but maybe you are going Benheck style and connecting something you salvaged.
