Help with .mem and .bmm file generation

[atlantic_pure]

Hi.. am supposed to implement a 8051 open core into a spartan 3e board and verify the implementation with led blink program.. i have implemented the core into the fpga successfully...

What I have to do now is to load the blink program into the program memory of the 8051... so i need to program this code into the block ram... for that am supposed to generate .mem and .bmm file which can be handled with data2mem software..

The problem which i face is I have absolutely no idea about generating a .mem or .bmm file... though i saw many links online for reference no one has given a clear idea about how to generate it... it will be very helpful if someone tells me how to do it step by step...

Thanks a lot!!
Cheers

is a step-by-step tutorial for a very simple processor implemented
on a Spartan 3e using block ram as program memory.

Thank you so much for the zip file...

Am programming 8051 in verilog... can i use the same files for verilog as well??

thanks!!

I always used schematic entry (a picture tells more than 100 lines of code),
but as far as I remember, Xilinx software converted the schematic files
to VHDL files, so you alway can look at the generated VDHL files.
Modification of the BRAM content in the bit file is independent of
the way the bit file was created (from schematics or VHDL/VERILOG).
