I have tried to put lots of inverters to stress test my Spartan 6 power supply as recommended here. Here is the basic module:
module inverter(
input wire clk
);
reg [7:0] inverted;
always @(posedge clk) begin
inverted <= ~inverted;

Duplication of working PWM signal leads to unexpected behaviour
I am trying to control 13 different servos with my Spartan3 FPGA. For that, I need 13 independent PWM signals generated by my FPGA. The PWM module that I am using works perfectly fine when only one output pin is controlled (instantiated as…

Why does output register remain x in the waveform even when clock changes?
I am using ISE to write my first Verilog code. I wrote a counter:
`timescale 1ns / 1ps
module my_counter( input clk , output reg [3:0] out);
always @(posedge clk) begin
out <= out+1 ;
end
endmodule
I then used ISE to make a testbench…
