How to jump from a forever cycling loop in Veriloga.
Feb 06th, 2018, 7:19am
 
Hello,

   I am writing a Veriloga model to do a binary search. The basic idea is: I have an open loop oscillator with binary control signals. I want to control the oscillating frequency to a range. The easiest way is to start the search from 00000 (5-bit) and linearly increase to 11111. But it takes too much simulation time (it is oscillator in time domain simulation).
   So I plan to do a binary search, and now I have a forever loop : for example
   while(1) begin
   ...
   break;
    end
   What I want is how to quit the forever loop if the frequency meets my range? In Verilog code, it is just a command "break", but I don't know how to do it in Veriloga.
   Any help is highly appreciated.
   By the way, several functions in Verilog don't work in Veriloga, for example
   @(posedge clk_in)
   break;
   #1u;

   If you have some good examples about the timing circuits, that would be wonderful.
   Thank you.

Why not have a variable "found" that you initialize to 0, set to 1 when your search is done, and use that in the while condition?

 while (!found) begin
...
 end

If at first you do succeed, STOP, raise your standards, and stop wasting your time.
