HC-SR04 (ultrasonic sensor) verilog code help

Hi, for my project i have to interface the HC-SR04 (ultrasonic sensor) to my DE2-115 board. I have been struggling with the verilog code for a while. Can anyone please help me out with the code?

The sensor basically needs to tell me how far an object is and report back stating the distance measured also.

I understand that the distance can be found by distance= speed of sound X time duration and i've looked at the HC-SR04 manual for timing of the pulses.

Please help :(

    As far as I know both multiply and devide are, but devision in one clock cycle needs a big area. It is possible that your FPGA has not enoug space left for that.

    Yea division doesn't work on Xilinx or Altera, from my experience. But multiplication works. Just wanted to confirm it. I think i have an idea of what to do now. Thanks so much :D
