Reading FPGA internal memory data

I have some IP output data written in an Altera FPGA memory inside the FPGA.

I have two questions here

1) How can I read the FPGA memory data.Can I use USB blaster cable for this?

2) Can I somehow dump the memory data into a file for comparison with a golden result generated?

Loading thread data ...

Yes, you can examine FPGA memory with the Quartus tools if you compile that option into the design. CHeck the doco... I can't remember what they call it...

Can't recall if Quartus will allow that, but I'd imagine it would!?!

OK, I had a quick peek...

"In System Memory Content Editor"

Yes, you can import/export memory data to/from a file.
