Problem Title:

2.1i 4K Map - Map can not combine dual port ram with registers into the same CLB when local set /reset signal used.



Problem Description:
Urgency: standard

General Description:
When distributed ram is used to generate a dual port RAM, if the output data signal is registered to

enable synchronous reads from the RAM map will not push the register into the same CLB.


Solution 1:

If the register is using a local control signal such as CLR map will be unable to combine the two in to
one CLB, this is because the CLR signal is brought into the CLB using one of the control signals (SR )
which has already been used as the write enable in the dual port RAM.
