How can I use M9K RAM Memory in CycloneIII ??

[Altera_Forum]

Hello Everybody !.. 

 I have seen in CIII datasheet that it has a different kind of RAM block called M9K, with higher frequency.  When I use "reg" is this a M9K??  I Use Verilog, How can i define and use this Memory Block?   A solution without using SOPC builder is preferred.  Thanks

Are you shift registers as register implemented ?  Kind regards  GPK

Use the MegaWizard plug-in manager if you want to create a ram-based shift register. It's under the "Memory Compiler" section.
