Description

General Description:

How do I instantiate and initialize Virtex Select BlockRAM+ using Synplicity's Synplify?

You can instantiate the RAMB* cells by using the Xilinx family library supplied with Synplify. Please see (Xilinx Solution 244) for details of instantiating Xilinx-specific cells.

NOTE: Tested with Synplify 5.1.4

Solution

Verilog

`include "<synplicity_install>/lib/xilinx/unisim.v"

module block_ram_ex (CLK, WE, ADDR, DIN, DOUT);

input CLK, WE;

input [8:0] ADDR;

input [7:0] DIN;

output [7:0] DOUT;

// synthesis translate_off

defparam

U0.INIT_00 = 256'h0123456789ABCDEF0123456789ABCDEF0123456789ABCDEF0123456789ABCDEF,

U0.INIT_01 = 256'hFEDCBA9876543210FEDCBA9876543210FEDCBA9876543210FEDCBA9876543210;

// synthesis translate_on

RAMB4_S8 U0 (.WE(WE), .EN(1'b1), .RST(1'b0), .CLK(CLK),

.ADDR(ADDR), .DI(DIN), .DO(DOUT)) /* synthesis

xc_props="INIT_00=0123456789ABCDEF0123456789ABCDEF0123456789ABCDEF0123456789ABCDEF,
