Hi, I just tried your MAKEXCOE
I create a memory file (32 x 16 bits) mif in Altera Quartus, and then, save as hex in Quartus.
The looks is this
:02000000FFFA05
:02000100406459
:02000200905517
...
Data is FFFA,4064,9055,...
After I ran your program makexcoe xxx.hex
the coe looks like this
MEMORY_INITIALIZATION_RADIX=16;
MEMORY_INITIALIZATION_VECTOR=
6440,
22D,
BFB0,
...

It doesn't look right. Any comment? Or I did anything wrong? Thx

Re: mif to coe

I have a question next to your request !!

Is there any solution to convert .bit to .coe file ?

I have to initialise a single port RAM (create with Block Memory Generator) with a bitstream in a FPGA virtex5 (Xilinx)
So, I'm looking for any soft to convert my .bit file.

I try to convert it to .hex file with BIN2HEX.EXE available here :

File Utilities

And try to convert .hex file to .coe. with MAKEXCOE available here :

But the file is huge and the out file is fail (write 000000....). :sad:


Do you know any others solution, please ?

Best Regards

Dayn
