Well it seems that persistent/non-volatile memory is not available on FPGA targets for scenarios involving cycling power.
Apparently, the recommended approach is to transfer the data to the host and store it to disk.
This is a bit problematic in that the choice is either to write data to disk at a high rate or to accept that the most recent data might not be reloaded on restart. For instance, an operator might expect to know exactly how many revolutions a shaft has undergone after power cycles to the FPGA target. A guaranttee that this information is as up to date as possible probably can't be met (maybe even under transferring data to disk at a high rate).
So I'd like to request this.
