Memory Initialization Namespace
You use the memory initialization namespace to pass memory initialization information to embedded
software tools. Use this namespace to create memory initialization files, including .flash, .hex, .dat,
and .sym files. You use memory initialization files for the following tasks:
• Flash programming
• RTL simulation
• Creating initialized FPGA RAMs for Quartus II compilation
You only need to provide these assignments if your component is a memory device that you want to
initialize.
The assignment name for the memory initialization namespace is embeddedsw.memoryInfo.<name>.
Altera embedded software tools already have definitions for the data types of the possible values.

(11)
An interrupt sender interface is an Avalon-ST source providing interrupt information according to the
external interrupt controller (EIC) protocol.
(12)
An interrupt receiver interface is an Avalon-ST sink receiving interrupt information from an EIC.
(13)
An interrupt controller receiver interface is an Avalon-ST sink receiving interrupt information from an EIC.
