GUI doesn't allow one to select RAM word size to one. Do you if it's even possible to generate a RAM containing only one word?

Honored Contributor --- Quote Start --- It's not really a ram with only a single entry. It's just a register. --- Quote End --- Any number of storage elements can be in ram or registers or just wires if constant. The designer must be given choice and freedom to select ram blocks or fabric registers. Though I wouldn't want to waste 1 ram block for few storage elements but again the tool must be helpful to choose the right elements. This sounds paradoxical but it does imply how fpga terminology and resource can get so vague.
