Next: Conditional 'if-else-if', Main: Supported Constructs, Previous: Always Statement The initial statement is similar to the always statement, except that it executes only once during the entire simulation run. It is functionally equivalent to a VHDL process with an infinite wait statement at the end of the sequential body. Register initialization in initial statements without event control are handled as a special case. If the register initialization is the first statement in the initial block without event control (precedes ALL wait statements), the statement is mapped to a signal initialization statement in VHDL. |
