9th October 2019, 21:34barry replied to a thread What is the vhdl equivalent of "initial begin" to initialize a ROM. in PLD, SPLD, GAL, CPLD, FPGA DesignI don't understand what you've got there. What is "rom_op" ? What is addr? Isn't that logic? How do you get data into a RAM without writing it? (To...14 replies | 587 view(s)
