Verilog语法进阶
Verilog `initial` is a keyword used to define a block of code that will be executed once at the beginning of the simulation. It is commonly used to initialize variables and perform any necessary setup tasks before the main simulation starts. The `initial` block runs concurrently with other procedural blocks in the design.
Here's an example of how `initial` is used in Verilog:
```verilog
module Example;
reg clk;
reg [7:0] count;
initial begin
clk = 0;
count = 0;
#10; // wait for 10 time units
while(count < 8) begin
#5; // wait for 5 time units
count = count + 1;
end
$finish; // end simulation
end
always begin
#1; // wait for 1 time unit
clk = ~clk;
end
endmodule
```
In this example, the `initial` block initializes the `clk` and `count` variables. It then waits for 10 time units before entering a loop that increments `count` by 1 every 5 time units. Once `count` reaches 8, the simulation is ended using the `$finish` system function. The `always` block toggles the `clk` signal every 1 time unit.
Note that `initial` blocks are not synthesizable and are only used for simulation purposes.
