I'm attempting to run a behavioral simulation on my Verilog code in Vivado. However, after the simulation runs, instead of getting outputs, they are shown as red lines with XX, which I believe means they are undefined.
I've attempted to change the timescale at the top of the Verilog files, as shown in Xilinx forum post, but this did not fix my issue.
Here is my Verilog program:
module ctrl(
input clk,
input [5:0] A,
input [5:0] B,
input [3:0] C,
output reg [6:0] led
);
always @(posedge clk)
begin
case(C)
4'b0000:
//A + B
led <= A + B;
4'b0001:
//A - B
led <= A - B;
4'b0010:
//A++
led <= A + 1'b1;
4'b0011:
//A--
led <= A - 1'b1;
4'b0100:
//B++
led <= B + 1'b1;
4'b0101:
//B--
led <= B - 1'b1;
4'b0110:
//A & B
led = (A & B);
4'b0111:
//A | B
led = (A | B);
4'b1000:
//A ^ B
led = (A ^ B);
4'b1001:
//~A
led = {1'b0,~A[5:0]
4'b1010:
//~B
led = {1'b0,~B[5:0]};
4'b1011:
//A << B
led = A << B;
4'b1100:
//B << A
led = B << A;
4'b1101:
//Light LED[0] if A > B
if(A > B)
led = 7'b0000001;
else
led = 7'b0000000;
4'b1110:
//Light LED[0] if A < B
if(A < B)
led = 7'b00000001;
else
led = 7'b0000000;
4'b1111:
//Light LED[0] if A=B
if(A == B)
led = 7'b0000001;
else
led = 7'b0000000;
default:
//Unimplemented opcode
led <= 7'b1111111;
endcase
end
endmodule
The testbench
module ctrl_testbench();
reg[5:0] A;
reg[5:0] B;
reg[3:0] C;
wire[6:0] led;
ctrl dut (
.A(A),
.B(B),
.C(C),
.led(led)
);
initial begin
A = 6'b000001;
B = 6'b000001;
C = 4'b0000;
#100;
A = 6'b000000;
B = 6'b000000;
C = 4'b0000;
#100;
A = 6'b000010;
B = 6'b000010;
C = 4'b0001;
end
endmodule
The timing diagram then gives this after the behavioral simulation is run. As you can see A-C (The inputs) are populated correctly, however LED (the output) is red and shows XX.
I'm trying to show the actual outputs.

You need to create a clock signal and drive the clk
input of your DUT:
module ctrl_testbench();
reg[5:0] A;
reg[5:0] B;
reg[3:0] C;
wire[6:0] led;
reg clk;
initial begin
clk = 0;
forever #5 clk = ~clk;
end
ctrl dut (
.clk(clk),
.A(A),
.B(B),
.C(C),
.led(led)
);
initial begin
A = 6'b000001;
B = 6'b000001;
C = 4'b0000;
#100;
A = 6'b000000;
B = 6'b000000;
C = 4'b0000;
#100;
A = 6'b000010;
B = 6'b000010;
C = 4'b0001;
$finish;
end
endmodule
It was convenient for me to create 2 initial
blocks. The first never ends due to forever
, and the second is necessary to end the simulation with $finish
. It is common to separate out distinct functionality using multiple initial
blocks.
