System Verilog parameters in generate block

Question

I\'d like to set a parameter based on a parameter which is set when the module is instantiated. I have the following.

module foo #(WORDS = 8);

parameter P00         


        

Answer 1

This works (generally say you need to make all 4 generate blocks name as the same):

module foo #(WORDS = 8);

parameter P00 = 33;
logic [7:0] tmp;

generate
  case (WORDS)
    4: begin : B
         assign tmp = 8'haa;
         parameter P00 = 4;
       end
    8: begin : B
         assign tmp = 8'hbb;
         parameter P00 = 8;
       end
   16: begin : B
         assign tmp = 8'hcc;
         parameter P00 = 16;
       end
   default: begin : B
              assign tmp = 8'hdd;
              parameter P00 = 8;
            end
  endcase
endgenerate

initial begin
  $display ("WORDS = %d", WORDS);
  $display ("tmp   = %h", tmp);
  $display ("P00   = %d", B.P00);
end

endmodule
