using altmem_init

[Altera_Forum]

I have a case where I am using a dual port ram that under certain conditions needs to be initialized to all '0's. I'm looking at the altmem_init function, but can not determine how to apply it. I can't find any examples of how to use it. If it is connected to the datain and add lines, do I have to created a mux to use the ram normally? Does it require a dual port ram with one side dedicated to the init function? Any help would be appreciated. gweather

Basically, the function does a sequential load of the ram. You can do the same in your code, if you prefer. It's rather easy.

It shows how to hookup the altmem_init to ram, but does not show how any of the user's data, address or write enable lines are connected. I have also performed a search of the Altera web site and the web and have not found any info on the best way to use the megafunction.
