Use the file read function in the HDL source code to load the RAM initial contents from an external data file.
•The external data file is an ASCII text file with any name.
•Each line in the external data file describes the initial content at an address position in the RAM.
•There must be as many lines in the external data file as there are rows in the RAM array. An insufficient number of lines is flagged.
•The addressable position related to a given line is defined by the direction of the primary range of the signal modeling the RAM.
•You can represent RAM content in either binary or hexadecimal. You cannot mix both.
•The external data file cannot contain any other content, such as comments.
The following external data file initializes an 8 x 32-bit RAM with binary values:
