read data from file for implementation

[Altera_Forum]

peace ! requesting some help with my vhdl code! 

I'm writing code for image processing, what I nead is read  data(integer) from file (txt,xml or dat) to implemente the code in the board, the file is generated from matlab  Q1- what type of file should I use  Q2- does the txt file solve the problem( for simulation it's ok but the question is for the implementation)  Q3- could you advice me for some books or links  Any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks for your time!....peace

You can update the file if your ram supports real time editing.
