Hi.. an Altera newbie here. I'm working with Quartus II 10sp1 & Modelsim Altera 6.5e. I have a very simple muxing program which redirects one of the two input UART ports to an output UART post based on a switch signal.
When I run the simulation, I cannot set breakpoints in my actual code; only in the testbench file and maxii-atoms.v. As a result I cannot see how the testbench signals propagate through my code. I ran the same code on a competitor's simulator (which I'm used to) & it runs fine and the results differ big time from Altera's. help please! Thanks The actual code: module e1188_try ( //UART1 output reg uart1_rx, input uart1_tx, output reg uart1_cts, input uart1_rts, //UART2 output reg uart2_rx, input uart2_tx, output reg uart2_cts, input uart2_rts, //Output UART interfaces //UARTX input wire uartx_rx, output reg uartx_tx, input wire uartx_cts, output reg uartx_rts, //control input uart_switch_n //1 -> uart1, 0 -> uart2 ); always @ (uart_switch_n or uart1_tx or uart1_rts or uart2_tx or uart2_rts or uartx_rx or uartx_cts) begin if (uart_switch_n) begin uartx_tx = uart1_tx; uart1_rx = uartx_rx; uartx_rts = uart1_rts; uart1_cts = uartx_cts; end else begin uartx_tx = uart2_tx; uart2_rx = uartx_rx; uartx_rts = uart2_rts; uart2_cts = uartx_cts; end end endmodule --------------------------------------------------- Test bench: module e1188_try_tb; //UART1 //output reg uart1_rx, //output reg uart1_cts, reg uart1_tx; reg uart1_rts; //UART2 //output reg uart2_rx, //output reg uart2_cts, reg uart2_tx; reg uart2_rts; e1188_try tb( uart1_rx, uart1_tx, uart1_cts, uart1_rts, uart2_rx, uart2_tx, uart2_cts, uart2_rts, uartx_rx, uartx_tx, uartx_cts, uartx_rts, //control uart_switch_in //1 -> uart1, 0 -> uart2 ); //Output UART interfaces //UARTX /* input wire uartx_rx, output reg uartx_tx, input wire uartx_cts, output reg uartx_rts, */ //control reg uart_switch_n; //1 -> uart1, 0 -> uart2 assign uart_switch_in = uart_switch_n; initial begin uart_switch_n = 1'b0; uart1_tx = 1'b0; uart1_rts = 1'b1; uart2_tx = 1'b0; uart2_rts = 1'b1; end initial begin forever# 20000 uart_switch_n = ~uart_switch_n; end initial begin forever# 25 uart1_tx = ~uart1_tx; end initial begin forever# 50 uart1_rts = ~uart1_rts; end initial begin forever# 15 uart2_tx = ~uart2_tx; end initial begin forever# 75 uart2_rts = ~uart2_rts; end endmodule
