RAM可以通过以下方式初始化:
- 在HDL源代码中指定RAM初始内容;
- 在外部数据文件中指定RAM初始内容。
Verilog Coding Example:
1,所有可寻址的words都初始化为相同的值
reg [DATA_WIDTH-1:0] ram [DEPTH-1:0];
integer i;
initial for (i=0; i<DEPTH; i=i+1) ram[i] = 0;
end
2,在外部数据文件中指定RAM初始内容
使用HDL源代码中的文件读取函数从外部数据文件加载RAM初始内容。
以下外部数据文件使用二进制值初始化8×32位RAM:
00001110110000011001111011000110
00101011001011010101001000100011
01110100010100011000011100001111
01000001010000100101001110010100
00001001101001111111101000101011
00101101001011111110101010100111
11101111000100111000111101101101
10001111010010011001000011101111

Code Example (Verilog):
reg [31:0] ram [0:63];
initial begin
$readmemb(“rams_20c.data”, ram, 0, 63);
end

ram[54] = 20'h0203B; ram[53] = 20'h08300; ram[52] = 20'h04002;
ram[51] = 20'h08201; ram[50] = 20'h00500; ram[49] = 20'h04001;
ram[48] = 20'h02500; ram[47] = 20'h00340; ram[46] = 20'h00241;

ram[36] = 20'h00102; ram[35] = 20'h02122; ram[34] = 20'h02021;
ram[33] = 20'h00301; ram[32] = 20'h00102; ram[31] = 20'h02222;

end
always @(posedge clk)
begin
if (we)
ram[addr] <= di;
dout <= ram[addr];
end
endmodule
4,从外部数据文件初始化块RAM(Verilog)
// Initializing Block RAM from external data file
// Binary data
// File: rams_init_file.v
module rams_init_file (clk, we, addr, din, dout);
input clk;
input we;
input [5:0] addr;
input [31:0] din;
output [31:0] dout;
reg [31:0] ram [0:63];
reg [31:0] dout;
initial begin
$readmemb("rams_init_file.data",ram);
end
always @(posedge clk)
begin
if (we)
ram[addr] <= din;
dout <= ram[addr];
end
endmodule
用于初始化RAM的外部文件需要以位向量形式。整数或十六进制格式的外部文件将无法工作。
