Hi, everyone! In my project, I use a procedure "file sim_vector in stimulation.txt" in the textio lib to read the stimulation file into "sim_vector", and then I read the file line by line. In each line , I read the stimulating data one by one, and put them one by one into the right port of the memory(ram). I think it too slow to input the program and data into the ram, and a little bit complicated. What I need is a procedure or method in VHDL, just like "readmemb<memory, stimu.txt, @address>" in verilog, to inital my ram . So could u help me?

you can use your function to write direct to the memory
type array(1024 downto 0) of std_logic_vector(31 downto 0);
signal memory : myarray := init_function("filename");
you only need to write a inif_function, which returns an array with the
memory content
Thank you!!^_^
I write a sram.vhd, and ues a tb_sram.vhd to simulate the sram. So, the initial_function() should be write in the sram.vhd, or the tb_sram.vhd?

The initial_functionl() go to sram.vhd If you synthesize your design for a FPGA target the memory will be filled on startup with your program to. Duke
hi! you mean that I should design the init_function(stimulation.txt) in my sram.vhd? I wanna use: [file stimulation_file : text is in "stimulation.txt"] , when I design the function, then read the stimulation_file line by line, and put the value into each unit of my sram, so am I right?

> so am I right Yes. Take a look at: http://tams-www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/vhdl/models/sram/sram.html (and try to use ieee.numeric_std.all instead...) Duke
