coe files are used by xilinx to initialize a bram. the syntax for a coe file is as shown -

; sample memory initialization file for dual port block memory, ; v3.0 or later. ; this .coe file specifies the contents for

consider a system in which 1024 random sample values need to be populated in coe file. the values must be in the radix 16 and range from to .

follow the following steps, in your program i. e use c functions in your program to do the following steps-

1. create and open a new file called "samples. coe".open it an appropriate mode so a new file is created for the first time and it is opened in write as well as read mode.

2. write two lines of comments at the top (through the program) - starting with semi-colons.

; these are 1024 sample values in range to ,

; random vector 0

3. write the next two statements to coe file (through the program) -

memory_initialization_radix = 16;

memory_initialization_vector =

4. generate 1024 random sample values and write them into the file, each line ending with a comma except the last one ending with a semi-colon

5. read all the sample values from the file one by one (you will either need to close the file and reopen it to start from beginning -or - rewind) and find and print the minimum and maximum values among all samples in hexadecimal format (on terminal). using the same loop, also calculate and print on terminal the mean/average value of all the samples.
