Currently, the soft reset is working but it resets the internal register FFs. I supposed that could be a question. The code I received was: > > inout reset; > ... > reg reset_en = 0; > always @(negedge clock) reset_en <= (cart_config3_reg_ce & data[7]); > > assign reset = (reset_en ? 0 : 1'bz); // if we trigger soft reset, set reset line to 0, otherwise hiZ > assign reset_in = (reset_en ? 0 : !reset); //if soft reset, 0, otherwise !reset > > And then the registers are: > > register #(.WIDTH(6)) cart_config1_reg(clock, reset_in, cart_config1_reg_ce, data[5:0], cart_config1); // active high reset. I don’t quite know what your intended behavior is just from the above, but I can tell you what it does: If “data" (register?) bit 7 is set and so is config reg 3 bit CE, reset_en goes high on falling clock edge. This enables two muxes, “reset” and “reset_in” (bus line or register?) “reset” outputs HiZ by default but drives a low value when “reset_en” goes high. Since this is type inout, I assume it resets the machine via an external pin. “reset_in” drives the inverted value of “reset” by default, but also drives a low value to the config reg when “reset_en” goes high. It drives reset on your config registers. The weird part to me is that “reset” doesn’t appear to be registered, yet the inverted value is passed to reset_in by default. So it starts by driving the inverse of HiZ (which is undefined, bad) by default before “reset_en” goes active. But since “reset” is not registered but both are triggered by “reset_en”, it seems like there’s an undefined region during that change where “reset_in” could be driving the inverse of 0 (1 or active high). That’s probably what resets your config register. If you tell me what you want this to do, I can suggest how to fix. -Nate Message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing listReceived on 2015-09-10 05:00:06
