FPGA : Constraint for BRAM placements

May 24, 2006 1 Replies

Hi want to know how to add Location constraint for BRAM placements in my design



I am using a statement like this



INST "coeff_ram1" LOC=RAMB16_X1Y1;



But the problem is i don't know how to find out the location values to put for my FPGA Spartan-3e ie the correct values for X?Y?



can any one help me rgds bijoy


my FPGA Spartan-3e ie the correct values for X?Y?

One way would be to do an automatic place & route of the design and then open it in the floorplanner to see where the place & route tools placed your memories. That is probably a good starting point. Using floorplanner you can even write out a UCF file containing the placement if you want to.
