BRAM initialization / bitstream configuration

May 06, 2008 2 Replies

Hi , The bitstream takes heed of BRAM , so my questions are :


  • Is it true that all the zeros that we localise in the beginning of configurable part ( of bitstream) correspond to BRAM initialization ?
  • how could i initialize BRAM differently ?

Thank you !

Describes how you place the program binary into a BRAM so it may be executed by the soft or hardened processor in the FPGA.

For initializing the BRAM contents using VHDL, or verilog:

If you do nothing, BRAM is automatically initialized to all 0's by default by the bitstream (if nothing else is specified, BRAMs will have

0's for their contents in the bitstream).
