I'm a beginner with myhdl. I try to translate the following Verilog code to MyHDL:
module ModuleA(data_in, data_out, clk);
input data_in;
output reg data_out;
input clk;
always @(posedge clk) begin
data_out <= data_in;
end
endmodule
module ModuleB(data_in, data_out, clk);
input [1:0] data_in;
output [1:0] data_out;
input clk;
ModuleA instance1(data_in[0], data_out[0], clk);
ModuleA instance2(data_in[1], data_out[1], clk);
endmodule
Currently, I have this code:
import myhdl
@myhdl.block
def ModuleA(data_in, data_out, clk):
@myhdl.always(clk.posedge)
def logic():
data_out.next = data_in
return myhdl.instances()
@myhdl.block
def ModuleB(data_in, data_out, clk):
instance1 = ModuleA(data_in(0), data_out(0), clk)
instance2 = ModuleA(data_in(1), data_out(1), clk)
return myhdl.instances()
# Create signals
data_in = myhdl.Signal(myhdl.intbv()[2:])
data_out = myhdl.Signal(myhdl.intbv()[2:])
clk = myhdl.Signal(bool())
# Instantiate the DUT
dut = ModuleB(data_in, data_out, clk)
# Convert tfe DUT to Verilog
dut.convert()
But it doesn't works because signal slicing produce a read-only shadow signal (cf MEP-105). So, what is it the good way in MyHDL to have a writable slice of a signal?
Edit: This is the error I get
$ python demo.py
Traceback (most recent call last):

You can use an intermediate list of Signal(bool()) as placeholder.
@myhdl.block
def ModuleB(data_in, data_out, clk):
tsig = [myhdl.Signal(bool(0)) for _ in range(len(data_in))]
instances = []
for i in range(len(data_in)):
instances.append(ModuleA(data_in(i), tsig[i], clk))
@myhdl.always_comb
def assign():
for i in range(len(data_out)):
data_out.next[i] = tsig[i]
return myhdl.instances()
