Section 5: Assign Logic to an ESB

You can use the Technology Mapper logic option to force the Quartus II software to implement the logic of a design entity into specific device resources, such as ESBs. ESBs are structures within APEX 20K, APEX II, ARM-based Excalibur, and Mercury devices, that you can use to implement memory (RAM, ROM, FIFO, or CAM) or combinatorial logic. After making the logic option assignment, you can verify its implementation in the floorplan.
