initializing custom memory with .mif (or .hex) in Quartus 3 - 2004-10-25 03:45:00
Hi all, I use a small memory block in my design. It's a hand-coded (VHDL) dual-port ram, that's recognized by Quartus as memory. However, when synthesizing, Quartus rightfully complains that no initialization was set to the memory. I looked in the help, but found no way to initialize MY memory with a .mif file - only a Quartus generated mega-function memory, which I don't want to use. I have a strong feeling that it's just a simple attribute in the code, but I just can't find it anywhere in Quartus' docs. Any ideas ? TIA Eli

Hi Eliben, The current version of Quartus 4.1 requires the use of a mega-function generated memory for RAM initialization. We are working on the ability to initialize a memory from within the HDL in one of our 2005 releases. - Subroto <e...@gmail.com> wrote in message news:1...@f14g2000cwb.googlegroups.com... > Hi all, > > I use a small memory block in my design.
