Use the socketed CLIP interface to communicate directly with the onboard DRAM. Socketed CLIP lists all memory interfaces that are compatible with the selected DRAM bank item.

Note Use the latest CLIP versions to access the newest features and to automatically disable the synchronization registers.

Complete the following steps to configure DRAM with socketed CLIP.

  1. Right-click an FPGA target in the Project Explorer window and select Properties from the shortcut menu to display the FPGA Target Properties dialog box.
  2. Select DRAM Properties to display the DRAM Properties page.
  3. In the Mode drop-down list, select Socketed CLIP.
  4. Click OK. The new DRAM Bank is populated in the Project Explorer window under the target.
  5. Right-click DRAM Bank x and select Properties to display the DRAM Bank x Properties dialog box.
  6. Select Enable DRAM if it is not already selected to display the DRAM configuration options.
  7. Configure the DRAM bank in the DRAM Bank x Properties dialog box and click OK when you are done. The DRAM signals are populated in the Project Explorer window under DRAM Bank x.
