15 years agoAdvices on VHDL signals initialization (Quartus synthesis vs Modelsim simulation)
Hi everybody, I use Modelsim to simulate my VHDL design, and when declaring signals I usually don't add any initialization since I know that inside the FPGA the logic is "automatically" initial...

15 years agoQuartus can use the initilised values no problem - it gives the registers their power up value. It will also initialise registers from their async reset value. Unitialised signals can be set to either '0' or '1' at power up.
I would never work with two versions of the same file.
