How to program a delay in Verilog?

问题


I'm trying to make a morse code display using an led. I need a half second pulse of the light to represent a dot and a 1.5 second pulse to represent a dash.

I'm really stuck here. I have made a counter using an internal 50MHz clock on my FPGA. The machine I have to make will take as input a 3 bit number and translate that to a morse letter, A-H with A being 000, B being 001 and so on. I just need to figure out how to tell the FPGA to keep the led on for the specified time and then turn off for about a second (that would be the delay between a dot pulse and a dash pulse).

Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Also, it has to be synthesizable.

Here is my code. It's not functioning yet. The error message it keeps giving me is:

Error (10028): Can't resolve multiple constant drivers for net "c3[0]" at part4.v(149)

module part4 (SELECT, CLK, CLOCK_50, RESET, led);
input [2:0]SELECT;
input RESET, CLK, CLOCK_50;
output reg led=0;
reg [26:0] COUNT=0; //register that keeps track of count
reg [1:0] COUNT2=0; //keeps track of half seconds
reg halfsecflag=0;  //goes high every time half second passes
reg dashflag=0;     //goes high every time 1 and half second passes
reg [3:0] code;     //1 is dot and 0 is dash. There are 4 total
reg [1:0] c3;       //keeps track of the index we are on in the code.
reg [3:0] STATE;    //register to keep track of states in the state machine
reg done=0;         //a flag that goes up when one morse pulse is done.
reg ending=0;       //another flag that goes up when a whole morse letter has flashed
reg [1:0] length;   //This is the length of the morse letter. It varies from 1 to 4
wire i;             // if i is 1, then the state machine goes to "dot". if 0 "dash"

I have been reading your code and there are many issues:

  1. The code is not formatted.

  2. You did not provide a test-bench. Did you write one?

  3. "Can't resolve multiple constant drivers for net" Search on stack exchange for the error message. It has been asked many times.

  4. Use always @(*) not e.g. always @(STATE) you are missing signals like i, halfsecflag, ending. But see point 6: You want the STATE in a clocked section.

  5. Where you use always @(posedge CLK) you must use non-blocking assignments: <=.

  6. There are many places where you use always @(posedge CLK) where you want to use always @(*) (e.g. where you set length and code) Opposite you want to use a posedge CLK where you work with your STATE.

  7. Use one clock and one clock only. Do not use CLK and CLOCK_50. Use either one or the other.

  8. Take care of your vector sizes. This 8'd25000000 is wrong as you can no fit 25000000 in 8 bits.

Your usage of halfsecflag is excellent! I have see many times where people think they can use always @(halfsecflag) which is a recipe for disaster!

Below you find a small piece of your code which I have re-written.

  • All assignments are non-blocking <=

  • halfsecflag is essential to operate the code only every half a second, so I put that by itself in a separate if at the top. I would use that throughout the code.

  • All register are reset, both COUNT2 and dashflag.

  • dashflag was set to 1 but never set back to 0. I fixed that.

  • I specified the vector sizes. It makes the code "Lint proof".

Here is it:

always @(posedge CLOCK_50 or posedge RESET)
begin
   if (RESET == 1'b1)
   begin 
      COUNT2 <= 2'd00;
      dashflag <= 1'b0;
   end // reset
   else if (halfsecflag) // or  if (halfsecflag==1'b1)
   begin     
      if (COUNT2==2'd2))
      begin
         COUNT2 <= 2'd0;
         dashflag <=1'b1;
      end
      else
      begin
         COUNT2 <= COUNT2+2'd1;
         dashflag <=1'b0;
      end
   end // clocked 
end // always 

Start fixing the rest of your code the same way. Write a test-bench, simulate and trace on a waveform display where things go wrong.




回答2:


Normally you would build the finite state machine to produce the output. That machine would have some stages, like reading the input, mapping it to a sequence of morse code element, shifting out the elements to output buffer, waiting for conditions to move to the next morse element. You will need some timer that would produce one morse time unit intervals, and depending on the FSM stage you will wait one, three or seven time units. The FSM will spin in the waiting stage, it doesn't "magically" sleeps in some fpga-produced delay, there's no such things.
