Designs that use MegaWizard Plug-In Manager to register HEX data generated by general-purpose tools (binary editor, GNU tools, etc.) as memory initial value data did not work as intended. Investigation revealed that the memory data was not placed where it was intended. What could be the cause?
The Intel HEX data generated by the general-purpose tool may not be read correctly.
Check if the following settings have been made. :
1) Launch Quartus II and select Options from the Tools menu
2) Highlight Memory Editor in the Options screen
3) Check Read or write Hexadecimal Files [.hex] Using byte addressing [Intel format].
