1.4. Inferring Memory Functions from HDL Code

The following coding recommendations provide portable examples of generic HDL code targeting dedicated Intel FPGA memory IP cores. However, if you want to use some of the advanced memory features in Intel FPGA devices, consider using the IP core directly so that you can customize the ports and parameters easily.

You can also use the Quartus® Prime templates provided in the Quartus® Prime software as a starting point.
