imagine that when you write data into sram.
you specify the address, but in some case you don't want write data. therefore you need write_enable signal. how about read sequence? read data appear as you specify address. if you don't want to use the data? just ignore it. that is why you don't need read_enable signal. - Altera_Forum

Are you generating this onchip memory for NIOS II as
in normal IP generation case i feel it rd_enable will be there but in Nios II situation we use IORD_32direct and read enable will not be available for user to control - Altera_Forum
