It is almost always stupid to try to read from your own output signal (right?)(I just got an infinite loop because it didn't update). I had code along these lines: sc_out<bool> access1; sc_out<bool> access2; for(; { while(!(condition1 || condition2)) { wait(sensor_ev); } if(condition1) { access1 = true; } if(condition2) { access2 = true; } if(access1 or access2) { wait(5, SC_SEC); access1 = false; access2 = false; } } The last if could be changed to cond1 or 2 instead of access1 or 2 to remedy this. Any way to make the compiler or the simulator warn me on this kind of code? i.e. whenever an sc_out is being read? Maybe there are cases when I want to read an output?

Thanks this looks like the right stuff. I will try it in a while! Should I use sig.write(true) or is it equal to normal assignment, i.e. sig = true:

I'm not sure what to do, really ^^' I'm not familiar with sc_buffer nor default_event(). I have this code right now. But in this way I can't react to two ones (1) coming in serie, because there has been no change on the input. Testbench: int sc_main(int argc, char **argv) { sc_time sim_time(atof(argv[1]), SC_SEC); char *infile = argv[2]; sc_signal<bool> sig; // create modules Generator generator("Generator", infile); Controller controller("Controller"); // connect channels to ports generator(sig); controller(sig); } (stimuli) Generator: SC_MODULE(Generator) { sc_out<bool> sensor; [...] } Generator::Generator(sc_module_name name, char *datafile) : sc_module(name) { in = new ifstream(datafile); // open input file (it is a file of ones and zeroes, a 1 indicating the sensor getting a new registration) SC_THREAD(generate_thread); } void Generator::generate_thread() { for (; { bool sens; wait(1,SC_SEC); // generate new inputs every second *in >> sens; // read from file sensor = sens; } } (DUT) Controller: SC_MODULE(Controller) { // input ports sc_in<bool> sensor; [...] //internal variables int value; //method void increase(); // thread void controller(); SC_CTOR(Lights) : value(0) { SC_THREAD(controller); sensitive << sensor; SC_METHOD(increase); sensitive << sensor; dont_initialize(); } } void Controller::controller() { while(true) { while(value == 0) wait(); //this could/should wait for an event trigger fired by increase() instead. if(value > 0) { value = 0; wait(20, SC_SEC); } Some_Other_Stuff(); } } void Controller::increase(){ //if(sensor == 1) ++value; } As you see, instead of this signal I would like to trigger the method increase from another module. But I am not sure how to do this. I could let Generator send pulses. But it doesn't feel right. All help is muchly appreciated.

Two modules, an input Generator and a Controller. The Generator sends a signal to increase a value in the Controller. The controller contains a loop where it checks if this value is > 0 and in that case do some stuf and reset it to zero.; How should I connect these two modules? Sending an event seemed most intuitional, but it doesnt look like the standard way to do this. I also read about semaphore but I'm not sure how to connect them. (I also want a monitor module to be able to print the value at some points (probably when it is reset))
