BRAM init (again ?!)

Hi I am trying to get initialization to work for BRAM on a spartan 2e.
I already read a lot of posts about this but till so far, maybe due to
my lack of understanding, found a solution. This is what i have so
far, see code, but all i get is a bram initialized to zeros

Michel.



architecture RTL of ax88796 is
component RAMB4_S16

generic (
INIT_00 : bit_vector :=
X"000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000");


port (DI : in STD_LOGIC_VECTOR (15 downto 0);
EN : in STD_logic;
WE : in STD_logic;
RST : in STD_logic;
CLK : in STD_logic;
ADDR : in STD_LOGIC_VECTOR (7 downto 0);
DO : out STD_LOGIC_VECTOR (15 downto 0));
end component;

attribute INIT_00 : string;
attribute INIT_00 of rom_ax:label is
"1001200210012002100120021001200210012002100120021 001200210012002";


begin

rom_ax : RAMB4_S16

generic map (
INIT_00 =>

X"100120021001200210012002100120021001200210012002 1001200210012002"
)

port map(X"0000",'1','0','0',CLK,ax_rom_addr,ax_rom_dat a);

Consider using synthesis to infer a rom.
