FPGA Memory errors when building...

[johnoc]

I am building an FPGA application for an sbRIO-9636. I just added a memory item to act as a circular buffer.

The memory item has the size set to 414000 U8 items. When I build I get an error in the compilation status window that starts like this.

"LabVIEW FPGA: The compilation failed due to a Xilinx error.

Details:

ERROR:sim - User configuration exceeds BRAM count in the selected device

ERROR:sim:963 - IP initializer could not set IP core parameters on IP model

ERROR:sim - User configuration exceeds BRAM count in the selected device

ERROR:sim - Failed to initialize IP model.

ERROR:sim - Failed executing Tcl generator.

ERROR:sim - Failed to generate 'ReallyLongUniqueName_ReallyLongUniqueName'. Failed executing Tcl generator.

ERROR:sim:877 - Error found during execution of IP 'Block Memory Generator v7.3'

Release 14.7 - Xilinx CORE Generator P.20131013 (nt) Copyright (c) 1995-2013 Xilinx, Inc. All rights reserved.

I have attached the entire error read out.

Please help!

I just realized why I am seeing this error. The sbRIO-9636 comes with 2,088 kbits of Block RAM. I missread the amount as 2,088 kbytes of block RAM, Me wanting to use 414000 bytes will not work.

Thanks to anyone looking into this.
