Beginner question about making a beep sound

I am so sorry to ask such a simple question, which i have been thinking for whole night already. 

Here are the codes 

 

module music(clk, speaker); 

input clk; 

output speaker; 

 

reg [15:0] counter; 

always @(posedge clk) counter <= counter+1; 

 

assign speaker = counter[15]; 

endmodule 

 

[/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B]My question is : 

1. Anyone can explain the logic to me. I very a beginner. 

2. " always@(posedge clk) counter <= counter+1;" means it has positive clock only when counter is smaller than counter +1, but what is counter physically in this case??  

3. Assign speaker to one of the value of counter is understandable, however, why then the speak will make a sound of frequency 381Hz if the input clock is set to be 25MHz, i know it's from 25MHz/65536= 381Hz, but i just dont understand why. how come? what is happening here?  

 

Anyone can explain this? i will appreciate that. Thank you so much:oops:

<= is the assignment function. so it increments the counter by 1 on every positive edge of the clock. 

 

The speed is because thats the toggling frequency of bit 15.

I suggest you start your own thread, rather than hijacking other threads.
