sc_signal concatenation

[gsachin]

Hi,

I have a set of signals defined as:

sc_signal<sc_logic>  bit0;
sc_signal<sc_logic>  bit1;
sc_signal<sc_logic>  bit2;

I have another buses defined as

sc_signal<sc_bv<3> > bus_input;
sc_signal<sc_bv<3> > bus_output;

I would like to do this operation:

bus_output = bit(i) & bus_input  where i = 0,1,2

For this, I am writing this code:

bus_output = (bit2.read(), bit1.read(), bit0.read()) & bus_input.read();

But this does not work. Compile is fine but only the bus_output[0] is correctly being written. other bits are not getting updated.

Can you please let me know what is the issue?

Thanks,
Sachin

I'm not sure what's wrong - but it's probably better to use a temporary variable, e.g.

// SC_METHOD
void proc() {
     sc_lv<3> bv3 = (bit2.read(), bit1.read(), bit0.read());
     bus_output.write ( bv3 & bus_input.read() );
}

Can you try that and see if it works?

If it doesn't, then something else is wrong.

Hi Sachin,

 

For concatenation one of the arguments should be a vector.

 

 

bus_output = (bit2.read(), bit1.read(), bit0.read())

 

This will fail as all the arguments are sc_logic.

 

See LRM section 7.2.7

 

Regards,

Hans.

Hello Sir,

there appears to be some confusion here.

You have defined :

sc_signal<sc_bv<3> > bus_output;

that is bus_output is an object of type sc_core::sc_signal,

and the template type is sc_dt::sc_bv<3>.

 

So, ONLY bit vectors of size 3 can be written into signal

channel bus_output; To do that, declare/define a bit vector

f size 3, concatenate all bits as desired, and then write that

bit vector into the output sugnal channel. Hope that helps.
