INIT(3)

INIT3

Usage

INIT("pattern_date","ident","value");

Parameters

pattern_date

: pattern date which may be either : integer (absolute date) or + integer (relative date, the date of the current pattern (last modified using INIT or AFFECT) is the reference). All dates are supposed to be expressed in the same time unit which may be set only once using SETTUNIT.

ident

Either the name of a bused register or a simple register. Path-name must be specified by the syntax : instance1.instance11.name

value

The value associated with the signal which may be either a based number (ex. 0B011 or 0H3F) or a decimal.

Overview

Initialize registers at indicated values and set current pattern.

Examples

SETTUNIT("ns");
INIT( "25","regt","0B1");
INIT("+50","y 3 downto 0","0xF");
result :
At simulation time 25 ns, the register named regt receive "1"
	regt <= B"1" ;
<   25 ns> : .............;
At simulation time +50 ns, (related to the date of the current pattern),
the vector y is affected with the value 15 in decimal or F in hexadecimal.
	regt <= X"F" ;
<   75 ns> : .............;
