[SOLVED] Multiple Image read in testbench

[kissmoh]

hi

im trying to make an image processor using virtex5, and im using modelsim for simulation tool.
my question is,

in testbench file, how to read multiple sequential images?
i can open and read 1 frame image but dont know how to do when the next frame is needed.


this is part of my test bench code

Not exactly sure what you want to do.

Are you trying to open a different file for each frame? You could make the file names something like file1.dat file2.dat file3.dat etc. and build the file name up using strings so you would have something like:

module temp;
  integer i;
  integer file;

  initial begin
    for (i=0;i<4;i=i+1) begin
      file = $fopen({"file", i+48, ".dat"}, "w");
      $fwrite (file, "%d\n", i);
      $fclose (file);
    end
  end

endmodule

yes, different files are needed for next frame.
it seems what i wanted, i didnt know that the '{}' is can be used like that way,
ty, i'll try it

i tried it but the 'i+48'(is there any reason for adding 48?) couldnt be recognized as string,

so i used $sformat,

integer cnt = 2;
string_0 = "addr";	
string_1 = ".raw";	
$sformat (string_cnt,"%s",cnt);
$sformat (string,"%s%s%s",string_0,cnt,string_1);

like this and it worked

48 is the ASCII code for the number 0. The code I posted worked using Vivado's xsim.
