test bench problem

Altera_Forum · ‎11-25-2011

sir, i have written a test bench code for my fft processor.here i used .text to import input data into test bench.vhd,but in output it shows only one input through out the simulation cycle.

below is part of my code

readProcess :PROCESS

file inFile:TEXT open READ_MODE is "infile1.txt";

VARIABLE inLine : LINE;

variable ar_var : std_logic_vector (7 DownTo 0);

variable ai_var : std_logic_vector (7 DownTo 0);

BEGIN

WAIT UNTIL (rclk = '1' AND rclk'EVENT);

IF (NOT ENDFILE(inFile)) and rrfd ='1' THEN --(NOT ENDFILE(inFile)) and rrfd

READLINE(inFile, inLine);

READ(inLine, ar_var);

-- READ(inLine, ai_var);

rxn_re(7 downto 0)<=ar_var;

-- rxn_im(7 downto 0)<=ai_var;

No_of_elements_read <= No_of_elements_read+1;

END IF;

END PROCESS readProcess;

result <= rxk_re & rxk_im;

Are you saying your read is reading one data only?

try this


process(clk)
file file_in : text open read_mode is "datain.txt";
variable line_in : line;
variable input_tmp : integer := 0;
begin
if(rising_edge(clk))then
 if read_input = '1' then
   if not endfile(file_in)then
      readline(file_in,line_in);
      read(line_in,input_tmp);
      data_in <= std_logic_vector(to_signed(input_tmp,16));
   end if;
 end if;
end if;
end process;

sir, i have moidfied my code as per youe advice .but in waveform i get "0 " values for iput & output. i have done the simulation for 1000us.plz help:cry:.i have attched the output waveform . code is here...

I have used that code style for a decade and it always works.

Now, is your file there and correct format. Are you looking at first node that acquires data from file... you need to follow the problem step by step.

Altera_Forum · ‎11-26-2011

does "infile1.txt" exist? is it being read correctly? with your code, if there is a problem with the file there is no message telling you this, it just skips the input code.

Try adding this to your infile process:

assert (not ENDFILE(inFile) ) report "Reached end of file or there was an error" severity failure.

also, with your code, a meta value on the input_tmp would return a 0 to rxn_re.

Btw, its a bad habit to leave large bits of code commented out.

And Please use the code tags around your code next time.
