Hi,

I have a spartan 3e starter kit. I need to write some data into the StrataFlash memory (the data is a .bin file), to be read by a soft-cpu (not MicroBlaze). Can this be done through JTAG? Through the FPGA?

Thanks,
 

Yes, you can program anything you want in your flash. You need an EDK project that has the the flash interface. Then in EDK you go to "Device Configuration" -> "Program Flash Memory".
See this for details:

Once you write whatever you want in the flash you can download your config with your soft cpu to read it.
