Memory components

The MSE-Embedded platform contains two SDRAM and one parallel flash memory as indicated in the below figure.

The MSE-Embedded board contains two 16MByte mobile low-power SDR SDRAM. The datasheets can be found here.

These SDRAM can be used with the external SDRAM memory controller of QSYS. The below tables indicate the FPGA-pins to which the SDRAM is connected. And here you find an example tcl script that can be used for pin-assignment in Quartus.

The MSE-Embedded board contains besides the FPGA-configuration FLASH also a 32MByte parallel FLASH memory. The datasheets of this component is available here.

This application note explains the use of the FPGA-based parallel flash loader (PFL) in programming a parallel flash device before configuring an FPGA through the active parallel (AP) configuration scheme.

The below tables indicate the FPGA-pins to which the FLASH is connected. And here you find an example tcl script that can be used for pin-assignment in Quartus.
