Memories (Flash, ROM and RAM)

[JesusAngelG]

Hello,
I want to implement Flash, ROM and RAM memories on the DE1-SoC board using the MegaWizard Plug-In Manager tool or any other wizard-type tool. Could you recommend me any manual, book or workshop that will help me learn how to use this type of memory generation tools for the Quartus Prime Lite software?

Regards

You just add them as IP from the IP Catalog in Quartus.  Parameterize them and instantiate them in your design.  The Quartus User Guides are a good place to start: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/programmable/support-resources/design-software/user-guides.html

And you can find tons of training at the training web site: https://learning.intel.com/developer/pages/128/intelr-fpga-training

Hi

You could take a look ah the embedded user guide on the use of the IPs .

The IPs that you are interested are On Chip Memory IP, Generic Serial Flash IP.

Thank you very much, your answers have been very helpful.
Continuing with the subject of memory, I want to learn how to use the SDRAM memory that the Altera DE1-SoC contains. I tried to access the following intel server ftp sites but an error message appears. How can I access this information?

Thanks

SDRAM (non-DDR) IP has been removed in recent Quartus versions, apparently respective tutorials too.

Need to refer to Quartus-20 or before. Tutorials are still around on the Internet, I think.

Hi

In addition you could take a look at the SDRAM Controller IP in the embedded user guide below:
