EPM240T100C5 not work reading data from RAM

Hi can someone help me with reading data from RAM, please

my code is very easy look:


module dds_generator(clk,signal_output);
input wire clk;
output wire  signal_output;
reg  phase_acumulator;
initial phase_acumulator = 32'd0;
//assign signal_output = phase_acumulator;
ram1_port sin(
    .address(phase_acumulator),
    .data(),
    .outclock(clk),
    .we(1'b0),
    .q(signal_output));
always@( posedge clk ) begin
phase_acumulator <= phase_acumulator + 32'd85899; //
end
 endmodule

compile project without errors but not use any CPLD resources :confused:

    Is your signal_output signal connected to pins outside of the FPGA? If not the whole module will be optimized away by the synthesizer.

    How do you load data in the RAM? I don't know if the synthesizer is smart enough, but it's possible that if it detects that you can never write anything in the module and that it's just initialized with zeros, that it will "optimize" your code by just outputting zeroes.
