hi

i am working on mp3 decoder in vhdl. i need to read the bitstream and
decode it. the bitstream is in a file so i used the commands for file
reading. but i found that quartus doesn't support the read, readin,
write, writein commands, i.e textio is not supported. what should i do
now to read that bitstream..plz suggest.

regards
shikha

If your intent is synthesis, where do you expect your file to reside? You
don't have a windows formatted hard disk on your FPGA so how does the
bitstream get stored for your purposes?
