Your design is using FPGA internal RAM, obviously the best idea with a rather small memory unit. It's the only memory, that can be operated dual-port, as intended. Alls external memories are single port.

From the external memories, only SRAM is available for simple interface. But you have to connect all memory signals to your design.
