为了使用自动推断ram块有什么要求?

我有一块IP应该是32位字节可寻址存储器。但我不能让它推断块公羊,它推断了大量的人字拖......

它应该适用于只有双端口块rams的Spartan3e(xc3s1200e-4fg320),实际上内存被分成两个阵列,偶数奇数排列......

这是代码,我希望这可能有助于理解我做错了什么?

2 个答案:

答案 0 :(得分:2)

这是在编码FPGA流程下的Xilinx Synthesis Guide中描述的。我几乎可以肯定复位循环会导致触发器被推断。该代码需要同时访问存储器的所有元素,这对于Block RAM是不可能的。

答案 1 :(得分:1)

你不能这样做:

process (clk, rst)
begin
    if rst = '1' then
        for a in 0 to 2047 loop
            memory0(a) <= INIT(a*2);
        end loop;

...因为这是要求重置内存,而不是初始化内存。

要初始化,您需要将信号声明更改为

形式
signal memory0 : memory_t(0 to 2047) := ( some list of integers or something that returns an array of integers);

您当前的方式(使用init的交错)意味着您必须使用函数:

function init_mem(init_values: memory_t) returns memory_t is
variable retval : memory_t(init_values'high/2)+1 downto 0);
begin
  for i in retval'range loop
      retval(i) := init_values(2*i);
  end for;
end function;

(请注意,这是我的头脑,我甚至没有尝试编译它,所以对任何拼写错误和语法错误道歉......但我希望你明白这一点:)

然后你可以用它来启动信号:

signal memory0 : memory_t(0 to 2047) := init_mem(INIT);

这一切都适用于模拟。您可能会或可能不会使用XST合成器推断INIT值 - 我还没试过。检查综合日志文件以查看其报告的内容 - 请向我们报告是否有效以及您尝试使用的XST版本。
