Greetings,
I am trying to generate a bitstream, but it is telling me there is a combinatorial loop occurring with pwm1N, pwm2N, and pwm3N. It does not say where/how/why this happens in the code, so I am at a loss for how to fix this. Is there someone who could help me identify where/how it is happening? I would greatly appreciate your help! I think this happened after adding the "if-else" statements at the beginning of the "posedge clk" statement, though I am not certain whether that is the cause.
