Honored Contributorsingle FPGA as TXR and RXR
Hello, I have just been exposed to working with FPGA. I want a single FPGA to act as the transmitter(say, generates bits) and as a Receiver(say, to test for bit error) . How do I make the fpg...

Honored ContributorFPGA design is by nature parallel. Every circuit that you define to run in the FPGA will always be running all the time. So, if you instantiate a PRBS generator and a PRBS receiver, they will naturally both be running.
Your question makes me think you are coming from a software background. You will need to keep in mind that an HDL like Verilog or VHDL is fundamentally different from a programming language like C, in that C is sequential and an HDL describes hardware. I hope this helps.
