14 years ago --- Quote Start --- Writing same value or different values does not make it any easier for ram access. There are as many ports as vendors have decided. I believe you better use register array indexed as ram --- Quote End --- [1] You are right if you consider the M9K, M144K to be RAMs. Somehow I thought these are generic memory blocks that can implement various types of memory: random access, FIFO, etc. [2] What is the most detailed information about the M9K (and the like) memory blocks available? I have the stratix iv hanbook (http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/stratix-iv/stratix4_handbook.pdf) (chapter 3), but it still does not answer all my questions. [QUESTION I STILL HAVE] 1. How do I write VHDL code to tell Quartus tools to put a certain memory into a M9K, or M144K, or other block?
