Passing arguments from irun command line to top module

abhingp01

 Hi,

 I need to pass certain parameters to my top verilog module from irun command line.

Some thing like:

irun ------- argr1,agr2 

 

Is this possible ? 

Kindly give a small example if possible.

Thanking  you in advance.

 

Regards,

Abhishek

  • Uhm, interesting enough the example you are using is working correctly (tried on edaplayground.com), but this one does not work correctly:

    typedef enum bit {NO, YES} bool_t;

    module test;
    dut dut ();
    endmodule

    module dut ();
    parameter bool_t p = YES;

    initial $display ("p is %n", p);
    endmodule

    the -defparam options passed to incisive does not overwrite the locally defined parameter. Moreover I have the following situation www.edaplayground.com/.../ufn where the outcoming output of the parameter value is completely wrong.

    What is the main difference between these examples?

    Thanks for your support,
