摘自极品蛤蟆的笔记 blog
现在的FPGA基本上都提供了Block RAM供用户使用,所以在自己的工程怎么用VHDL来使用这些Block RAM就非常重要。当然,还是推荐使用开发商提供的软件来生成一个RAM模块,但是这样的RAM块不论移植性还是灵活性都降低了。所以这里采用VHDL来描述一个RAM,对于不同的综合工具和约束条件,综合出的结果可能有所不同,尽管这样,其移植性和灵活性还是要比使用工具生成的RAM块好。使用不同的综合工具,只要稍加修改就可以满足自己设计的要求。
下面的VHDL代码使用ISE的XST综合,综合结果使用了Block RAM,这是我们期望的。当然有时对于用到的容量很小的RAM,我们并不需要其使用Block RAM,那么只要稍微修改一下就可以综合成Distribute RAM。具体如何修改后面再做介绍。

我们看一下综合报告:

可见确实综合成了Block RAM。并且只要改变Width和Depth,就可以改变生成RAM的宽度和容量 。
下面是把上面的代码稍做修改后生成Distribute RAM的代码和其综合报告,可见改动是非常小的。

由以上的讨论我们可以看出,用VHDL来描述RAM其实是非常方便,更加重要的这种方法在移植是时候有着更加优越的特点。
