Hi, 

Can I add 16GB of NAND Flash memory into my NiosII processor system for a data storage system, if you know how to add this amount of FLASH please explain me.

Anything's possible, but I don't know of any NAND flash controllers/drivers for Nios II-based systems.... You're welcome to develop one, yourself, of course! 

 

Cheers,

Thanks, I was looking for a Flash controller for NIOSII processor system. Has any body developed a one so far, if so can I share your thoughts.

I&#39;ve added 32MBytes * 20 of Intel Strata flash but I think that&#39;s NAND and was done by adding memory component in SOPC builder

Hey, what was your interface to Avalon bus, did you use CFI, if so it could be NOR flash I cannot find a NAND flash interface in the SOPC builder. IF you have found a NAND Flash Contorller within the SOPC builder please tell me what it is. 

Thanks

I used interface to user logic in the SOPC builder. 

The Intel device isn&#39;t supported by CFI. I&#39;m currently adding support for Intel&#39;s P30 family. Fairly straight forward but it curcumvents CFI.

is there any synchronous CFI controller available? 

 

Thanks,
