Example of parameter use
format_char = 'a');
Verilog: instantiating SystemC UM-215
The first argument to sc_get_param defines the parameter name, the second defines the
parameter value. For retrieving string values, ModelSim also provides a third optional
argument, format_char. It is used to specify the format for displaying the retrieved string.
The format can be ASCII ("a" or "A"), binary ("b" or "b"), decimal ("d" or "d"), octal ("o"
or "O"), or hexadecimal ("h" or "H"). ASCII is the default.
Alternatively, you can use the following forms of the above functions in the constructor
initializer list:
int sc_get_int_param(const char* param_name);
double sc_get_real_param(const char* param_name);
sc_string sc_get_string_param(const char* param_name, char format_char =
'a');
Here is a complete example, ring buffer, including all files necessary for simulation.
// test_ringbuf.v
`timescale 1ns / 1ps
module test_ringbuf();
reg clock;
...
parameter int_param = 4;
parameter real_param = 2.6;
parameter str_param = "Hello World";
parameter [7:0] reg_param = 'b001100xz;
// Instantiate SystemC module
ringbuf #(.int_param(int_param),
.real_param(real_param),
.str_param(str_param),
.reg_param(reg_param))
chip(.clock(clock),
...
... };
endmodule
