BRAM implementation in Altera Quartus

Does anyone here know how to implement BRAM in Altera Quartus?? The inferred BRAM in my design isn't working in my synthesizer and i get logic instead of BRAM. Thats why compilation of my design fail...

You might be able to modify the HDL to enable synthesis to infer the RAM. See "Inferring Memory Functions from HDL Code" in the Quartus handbook, Volume 1, Section II, Chapter 6, "Recommended HDL Coding Styles". If you want to use features of the RAM block that synthesis does not support for inferred RAM, then you need to instantiate an altsyncram MegaWizard variation as OrchestraDirector suggested.
