Abstract
Modifying initialization data for a memory array of a circuit design can include providing, using a processor, portions of an incoming stream of data for initializing the memory array to emulation objects of a memory array emulator. The memory array emulator is configured to emulate an implementation of the memory array and the emulation objects represent block random access memories (block RAMs) of the memory array. Using the processor, the data can be formatted using the emulation objects to generate initialization data, wherein the data is formatted based upon configuration settings of the block RAMs emulated by the respective emulation objects. A configuration bitstream can be updated, using the processor, with the initialization data.
