Above is the Verilog code (I saved it by this name "8it_alu_code.v", without double quotes) for 8bit ALU, and following is it's testbench (I saved it by this name "8it_alu_tb.v", without double quotes).
`timescale 1ns/1ps
module alu_tb;
reg[7:0] A,B;
reg[3:0] selector;
wire[7:0] ALU_output;
wire ALU_output_carry;
integer i;
alu test(A , B , selector , ALU_output , ALU_output_carry )
initial begin
$dumpfile("dump.vcd");
$dumpvars(1,alu_tb);
A=8'b00000010;
B=8'b00000110;
selector=4'b0000;
for(i=0;i<4;i++)

selector=selector+4'b0001;

When I am compiling it on the Icarus tool as follows:
iverilog -o 8it_alu_code.v 8it_alu_tb.v
I am getting this error (in testbench file I think)
8it_alu_tb.v:1: syntax error
I give up.
Then, I thought there could be some problem in simulator, so I went to 'EDAplayground' website and run both files in there online simulator. There I got following errors, without any output waveform or anything:
No top level modules, and no -s option.
Exit code expected: 0, received: 1
I want it to run successfully either on my 'ICARUS+GTKWAVE' and give some waveform output, or on EDA Playground online simulator. But, it is not compiling successfully. So, please kindly give some suggestions as what should I do to get rid of it.
You never drive ALU_output
, and you have multiple drivers for ALU_result
.
This line:
assign ALU_result=ALU_output;
should probably be changed to:
assign ALU_output=ALU_result;
iverilog
currently does not support much of SystemVerilog. The ++
operator was introduced in SV. Change:
for(i=0;i<4;i++)
to:
for(i=0;i<4;i=i+1)
Two lines were missing semicolons (added below):
alu test(A , B , selector , ALU_output , ALU_output_carry );
#10;
