Verilog real functions and compile time

I am trying to write a Verilog module and synthesize it using Quartus II 8.0, but I am running into some issues. I have a function which returns a real value, and takes in real values for argum...

Even if Quartus systhesis would support the real data type completety it would not help Bpadalino to do what he wants to. Verilog itself supports only a few operators for the real data type. Definitely no sqrt, exp or ln.

Bpadalino, my recommndation for you: Use a memory module and initialize is with a hex file. Generate the hex file with a simpe C programm that calculates the data. Verilog isn't made for this stuff.
