Program Block Vs Module In System Verilog

RAM Verilog Code | ROM Verilog Code

We introduce a SystemVerilog unit testing framework from AgileSoC called SVUnit. We show how to create example SVUnit tests to test a Verilog module. Verilog to schematic Hey, I am almost new to hardware design. I have a Verilog project written in Al.tra Qua.rtus II. It is so hard to go through the codes. I wonder if there is a software which can convert this project to a block diagram or schematic. The Program construct provides a race-free interaction between the design and the testbench, all elements declared within the program block will get executed in the Reactive region. Non-blocking assignments within the module are scheduled in the active region, initial blocks within program blocks are scheduled in the Reactive region.

Systemverilog Program Block

This page covers RAM verilog code and ROM verilog code.It also provides link which compares RAM vs ROM.

RAM Verilog code

Define in systemverilog

Following is the figure and verilog code of RAM (Random Access Memory).

module RAM_code(out, in, addr, RW, CS);
output [7:0] out;
input [7:0] in;
input [3:0] addr;
input RW, CS;
reg [7:0] out;
reg [7:0] DATA[15:0];
always @(negedge CS)
begin
if(RW1'b0) //READ
out=DATA[addr];
else
if(RW1'b1) //WRITE
DATA[addr]=in;
else
out=8'bz;
end
endmodule

ROM Verilog code

Following is the figure and verilog code of ROM (Read Only Memory).

Verilog
module ROM_code(out, addr, CS);
output[15:0] out;
input[3:0] addr;
input CS;
reg [15:0] out;
reg [15:0] ROM[15:0];
always @(negedge CS)
begin
ROM[0]=16'h5601; ROM[1]=16'h3401;
ROM[2]=16'h1801; ROM[3]=16'h0ac1;
ROM[4]=16'h0521; ROM[5]=16'h0221;

Online course in Systemverilog for functional verification

Online course in SystemVerilog for Functional Verification is a 12 weeks course structured to enable engineers develop their skills in full breadth of systemverilog features. VT-SVO course covers all aspects of functional verification including constrained random verification, assertion based verification and coverage driven verification. VT-SVO course has been framed to fit to every functional verification engineer requirements and also targeted for graduates aspiring to make career in VLSI Front End domain. Course approaches by teaching basic concepts to most advanced aspects of SV with relevant examples to enable easier understanding of concepts.

VT-SVO course also includes training industry standard protocols like AXI, AHB, etc, with emphasis on teaching industry standard AXI protocol and developing Verification IP for same. Course also includes 1 industry standard project. All these projects are executed from scratch with students working on complete flow starting from specification reading, feature listing down, testbench architecture creation, component coding and testcase development till verification closure using coverage and regression as verification closure criteria.

VT-SVO course also includes multiple weeks of Lab sessions to enable student put effort in doing above projects from scratch.
