2.2.14.1 Content
The Content setting defines how data is stored and managed within a FlashROM region.
- Static
- Data is entered manually when the core is configured and cannot be changed later. This option is appropriate for fixed data required for FPGA operation, such as secure key storage.
- Auto Increment
- Specifies a starting value, a maximum value, and an increment step size. The starting and maximum values can be modified later using FlashPoint.
- Read from File
- Data is read from an external content file and loaded into the selected FlashROM region.
A different content file can be selected later in FlashPoint from either Designer or
FlashPro.
When Read from File is selected, the following file formats are supported: binary, hexadecimal, decimal, and text. In each case, the file consists of a simple list of data values that match the configured content size.
Examples of supported formats include:
- Binary format: 0101110011
- Hex format: 1112222ffffaaaabbbb
- Decimal format: 123456789
- Text format: myexampletext
