new using Verilog and coding the Upduino v3.1. Set a PLL module, using its output clock to increment a counter until it reaches 2000, and toggle the output LED. This is code:
module main_pll(REFERENCECLK, PLLOUTCORE, LED);
input REFERENCECLK;
output PLLOUTCORE;
output wire LED;
wire pllout;
reg [15:0] counter;
reg temp;
pllG pllmpd(.ref_clk_i(REFERENCECLK), .rst_n_i(), .outcore_o(PLLOUTCORE),.outglobal_o());
assign pllout = PLLOUTCORE;
assign LED = temp;
initial temp <= 1'b0;
initial counter <= 16`b0;
always @(posedge pllout) begin
counter <= counter + 1;
if (counter == 2000) begin
counter <= 0;
temp <= ~temp;
end
end
endmodule
The output LED doesn't toggle and not clear what the issue could be.
Can you please help me understanding what I am doing wrong?
Thanks, Gus
ice40 sets all registers to zero and IIRC unconnected port to GND (1'b0). Thus, the PLL will not start if nothing is passed to rst_n_i. The following code was tested on an ice40UP5K-B-EVN:
module main(
input wire REFERENCECLK,//12 MHz clock on pin 35 (GPLL_IN/PCLKT0_1)
output wire PLLOUTCORE, // pin 28
output reg LED // will blink with ~3 Hz, mapped to pin 40 (RGB1=green LED)
);
reg [21:0] counter;// ice40 set everything to zero as default
always @(posedge PLLOUTCORE)
begin
counter <= counter + 1;
LED <= counter ? LED : ~LED;
end
testpll pllmpd(
.ref_clk_i(REFERENCECLK),
.rst_n_i(1'b1), //this is important, else the nrst will be held at 0
.outcore_o(PLLOUTCORE), // 24 MHz out
.outglobal_o()
);
endmodule
