FPGAmstrad

Just about the "RAM filler", filling a RAM with data is perhaps the more important thing about using FPGA platforms, do just remember that a RAM does keep its content as long as voltage is entered on it. So you can program FPGA without erasing RAM content. So you can program three FPGA programs : one for filling RAM, one for running a program using RAM, one for dumping RAM. Here I did use a serial transmit, but in fact, in last versions of FPGAmstrad, I do use a SDCARD with a homemade bootloader (filling RAM from SDCARD content)
 
I did use also Mock components, in first version of FPGAmstrad, FPGA platforms was too small, so I could have FPGAmstrad only with cool sound and low graphics, or else FPGAmstrad with cool graphics and no sound. Both using 100% of this old FPGA platform. A Mock component is a fake component, an empty one, just telling back "I'm OK, please thrust me I do exist" to others components trying to communicate with me (it's a entity with same in out ports as original but using constant output values)
