Select Verilog HDL file
Type the following text. This is the basic structure of a
Verilog module. After click on Save.
Keyword: module
module name: lab1
Input and output Ports to be created: ();
Keyword to indicate the end of the module: endmodule

17

Make sure that the name we created
in step 5 (in page 8) matches the
module name
And the file name. Then click on save

18
19
Double check that the
Module name
matches the
Top level entity
And the file name

Ports can now be declared for
our AND GATE refer to the
diagram in page 5
1 bit INPUT A
1 bit INPUT B
1 bit OUTPUT X

We assign the operation
AND to our output.
Notice that we are using
The bitwise AND
operation.

Bring back the spreadsheet we opened in page 11 and have it side by side with pin planner

24
26
Copy and paste the
Inputs from the spreadsheet
On te inputs on Pin Planner

25
27
Copy the location for
the output X and
paste it in Pin planner

After setting up the locations
We can close Pin Planner

Input 0 and input 1 in the spreadsheet correspond to the first two slide switches o the right. The rest of the slide switches
although we are not using them correspond to the other pins in the same order.

I hope you enjoyed lab1 and try the following challenge
Implement all the gates in the diagram in one program.
Use different inputs for each gate. In total you should have
7 inputs and 4 outputs.
