7 years agoDesigning with primitives is generally discouraged, as you are unlikely to do a better job than the synthesis tool. Is there a reason for wanting to use primitives?
there is this document from 11 years ago: https://www.altera.com/en_us/pdfs/literature/ug/ug_low_level.pdf and memories: https://www.altera.com/content/dam/altera-www/global/en_us/pdfs/literature/ug/ug_ram_rom.pdf If you want to lock them to specific locations, you need to use logiclock constraints. Guide here: http://www.alterawiki.com/uploads/6/61/tips_for_incrementalcompilation_logiclock.pdf Basically, all of this is much much slower, and likely less efficient than writing HDL. Let alone being terrible for anyone else to read.
