4.2.1. Converting Memory Blocks
To convert AMD* Xilinx* memory blocks to Intel® FPGA memory blocks, you must consider the embedded memory blocks in the target device, address the differences between memories in Intel® FPGA and AMD* Xilinx* devices, and perform port mapping.
The AMD* Xilinx* Block Memory Generator defines the following types of memory blocks:
- Single Port RAM
- Simple Dual Port RAM
- True Dual Port RAM
- Single Port ROM
- Dual Port ROM
Replacing memory blocks is not a trivial task. Depending on the RAM mode, you might encounter some functionality mismatch when converting your design from a AMD* Xilinx* device to an Intel® device.
For information about memory blocks present in Intel® FPGA devices, refer to the Embedded Memory User Guide for each device.
