CHAPTER 12: DEBUGGING
USING THE IN-SYSTEM MEMORY CONTENT EDITOR
ALTERA CORPORATION INTRODUCTION TO QUARTUS II ■ 209
■ HEX Editor: used to make edits and save changes to in-system memory
at run-time, to display the current data within the memory block, and
to update or offload selected sections of a memory block. You can use
the Go To command (right button pop-up menu) to automatically go to
a specific data address within a specific memory block within a specific
instance. Words are displayed with each hexadecimal value separated
by a space. Memory addresses are displayed in the left column, and the
ASCII values (if the word width is a multiple of 8) in the right column.
Each memory instance has a separate pane in the HEX Editor. Figure 8
shows the HEX Editor in the In-System Memory Content Editor
window.
