Honored ContributorUnable to Address Full Memory Range in Mixed Width Dual Port RAM Module
I used MegaWizard to create a mixed width dual port RAM module with the following configuration:
Port A: 8x256 Port B: 32x64 Single Clock When I simulate the module in ModelSim, everything looks great, but when I program my FPGA, I can only access up to address 0x7F on Port A. Addresses at 0x80 and above that seem to wrap around to address range starting from 0x20. I've checked the fitter report, and it shows that the RAM was implemented as defined (Implementation Bits = 2048). I'm wondering if I'm missing something obvious.1 Reply
