INIT(3)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, you've landed on INIT(3) — the manual page from the GENPAT functions manual — and the official name sitch is INIT, GENPAT Package. It's giving "small page, big register-initializing energy," and we're gonna get through every detail together. ✨

🌍 ORIGIN 🌍

This software belongs to the ALLIANCE CAD SYSTEM developed by the ASIM team at LIP6 laboratory of Universit� Pierre and Marie CURIE, in Paris, France. 🗼

📜 SYNOPSIS 📜

INIT("pattern_date","ident","value");

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

• pattern_date — the pattern date, bestie. It can be either an integer (absolute date) or + integer (relative date, where the date of the current pattern (last modified using INIT or AFFECT) is the reference). All dates are supposed to be expressed in the same time unit, which may be set only once using SETTUNIT. ⏰
• ident — either the name of a bused register or a simple register. The path-name must be specified by the syntax: instance1.instance11.name. 🔎
• value — the value associated with the signal, which may be either a based number (ex. 0B011 or 0H3F) or a decimal. 🔢

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Initialize registers at indicated values and set current pattern. That's the whole assignment, and it ate. 👑

🌸 EXAMPLE 🌸

SETTUNIT("ns");
INIT( "25","regt","0B1");
INIT("+50","y 3 downto 0","0xF");

result :

At simulation time 25 ns, the register named regt receive "1"
     regt <= B"1" ;
<   25 ns> : .............;

At simulation time +50 ns, (related to the date of the current pattern),
the vector y is affected with the value 15 in decimal or F in hexadecimal.
     regt <= X"F" ;
<   75 ns> : .............;

So at 25 ns the register named regt gets "1", and at +50 ns — relative to the date of the current pattern — the vector y is affected with the value 15 in decimal or F in hexadecimal. Literally iconic. 😭✨

xoxo bestie 💅 — this page's footer energy is ASIM/LIP6, October 1, 1997, INIT(3), and that's the whole manual. Slay. 🎀
