Hello everybody, 

is it possible to map a constant vhdl variable to a specific address in the .hexout file like in a linker file of a uC. How can I specifiy the address of this variable in Quartus or in the VHDL code. I want to parse the .hexout file for this variable. 

Can anybody help me? 

Thanks!

Are you asking about the .hexout file (configuration) file or the .hex (memory initialization file)?

I'm asking about the .hexout file. I want to have the constants at a specified location in the .hexout file.
