COE File Syntax
The following syntax displays the general form for a COE file:

  u2 v! {/ t: c2 d) z# OThe following table describes COE file keywords for specifying radix values for data. Keywords are not case sensitive. For information on the specific keywords required for a core, please refer to that core’s data sheet.
COE File Keywords for Radix Values
  w# W  O7 y1 ~( S3 V) Y3 |  ^Keyword        Description
5 s* v8 k6 i0 R1 z" v9 Y: s$ \RADIX        Used for non-memory cores to indicate the radix being used to specify the coefficients of the filter.
MEMORY_INITIALIZATION_RADIX        Used for memory initialization values to specify the radix used.
# g: o0 V7 e1 C% s0 JThe following table describes COE file keywords for data values. Keywords are not case sensitive.
' ~9 h, O: J* A/ P/ ZCOE File Keywords for Data Values
& M) w. ]/ k: F% z! i" y8 RKeyword        Description
COEFDATA        Used for filters to indicate that the data that follows comprises the coefficients of the filter.
0 t% i- U1 z3 E3 z7 {0 M( |4 EMEMORY_INITIALIZATION_VECTOR        Used for block and distributed memories.
PATTERN        Used for Bit Correlator COE files.
" q8 k: O0 J* O7 b' @9 }* r- R, hBRANCH_LENGTH_VECTOR        Used in Interleaver COE files.
MEMDATA        Obsolete keyword.
Note :  Any text after a semicolon is treated as a comment and is ignored.
One of the following keywords must be the last keyword specified in the COE file:
COEFDATA
- o3 w$ j) |, n4 d6 } MEMORY_INITIALIZATION_VECTOR
3 ?( q  p( _! D- T! Q8 F MEMDATA (an obsolete keyword, supported for backward compatibility)
Any other keywords that follow are ignored.
You can find examples of COE files for the Distributed Arithmetic FIR Filter, Bit Correlator, Digital Down Converter, RAM-based Shift Register, and Distributed Memory in the $XILINX/coregen/data directory.
