Block Memory Generator v4.3 - Release Notes and Known Issues for ISE 12.3
Description
This Release Notes and Known Issues Answer Record is for the Block Memory Generator v4.3 Core, released in ISE Design Suite 12.3, and contains the following information:
When the user selects TDP (write_mode= Read First)
Impact: User will have to consider the collision issue
Spartan-6 FPGA Block RAM Memory collision error
When the user selects TDP (write_mode= Read First)
Impact: User will have to consider collision issue
NOTE: Refer to UG383, 'Conflict Avoidance' section while using TDP Memory, with Write Mode = Read First in conjunction with asynchronous clocking.
Power estimation figures in the datasheet are preliminary
Core does not generate for large memories. Depending on the machine the ISE CORE Generator software runs on, the maximum size of the memory that can be generated will vary. For example, a Dual Pentium-4 server with 2 GB RAM can generate a memory core of size 1.8 MBits or 230 KBytes

(Xilinx Answer 24034) LogiCORE Block Memory Generator - Generating Block Memory Generator takes a long time
Out-of-range address input can cause the core to generate Xs on the DOUT bus
(Xilinx Answer 23744) LogiCORE Block Memory Generator - Invalid address on ADDR can cause the core to generate Xs on the DOUT bus during simulation
When the IP core is generated for Spartan-6 devices, the core should combine two adjacent 9k block RAM into one 18K block RAM.
