15 years agoSystemverilog packed structs in Quartus II?
Re-posting here from the general forum where I posted by accident . . .
I have a systemverilog header file (types.svh) that contains a number of the following: typedef struct packed { bit [127:0] field1; bit [63:0] field2; bit [127:0] field3; bit [63:0] field4; } name_of_struct; When I try to synthsize it in a file: `include "types.svh" module mod_name(i_port, ...) input name_of_struct i_port; Quartus II just dumps out a bunch of errors saying "Verilog HDL error: object "name_of_struct" is not declared. It's like QuartusII isn't actually seeing my `include file or something. Any suggestions? If I include the struct declaration prior to the 'input . . . ' line in my code, it works fine, so there is something about declaring a struct in an external file that is broken. I can't believe Quartus wouldn't support such a basic feature though.
