1.6.6.6. Initialize the Device with the Synchronous Load (sload) Signal
CRC designs often require the data to be initialized to 1’s before operation. In devices that support the sload signal, you can use this signal to set all registers in the design to 1’s before operation.
To enable the sload signal, follow the coding guidelines in this chapter. After compilation you can check the register equations in the Chip Planner to ensure that the signal behaves as expected.
If you must force a register implementation using an sload signal, refer to Designing with Low-Level Primitives User Guide to see how you can use low-level device primitives.
