CDF to Verilog-A string parameter gets converted string -> number -> string with parseAsCEL = nil

jayager

Hi all,

I have an interesting issue. I am trying to pass a string parameter to a Verilog-A module to where I can read it character-by-character to determine the next state of the module. However, when it is a string that can be parsed as a number, it is getting passed as a number, despite the Verilog-A module looking for it as a string and parseAsCEL set to nil in the CDF.


E.G.: "101020000" ends up in the VerilogA module as the string "1.0102e+08". I have validated that parseAsCEL is set to nil, which seems to be the converse of the usual issue.

Is there any way around this behavior? Better yet, can I somehow pass an list/array to VerilogA and then set up the list in a parameter edit callback? Version is 6.1.6.


Thanks,

Jeremy
