read/write the SRAM, Flash Memory, and SDRAM; load a image pattern to
display on VGA; load music to memory and play the music via audio DAC. The
feature of reading/writing a byte or an entire file from/to the Flash Memory allows
users to develop many multimedia applications (Flash Audio Player, Flash Picture
Viewer) without worrying about how to build a Flash Memory Programmer.
Perform the following steps to repeat the experiments.

Figure 6.1 shows the concept of the DE2 Control Panel. Users use Window
GUI to issue commands via the USB link to the FPGA. We provide an IP to
handle all the requests and perform data transferring between PC and the
DE2 board.

Once the DE2_Control_Panel program in C:\DE2\ is started, the user
interface shown in Figure 11.2 should appear.
