Fixes #560

Describe the changes you have made in this PR -

  1. Added the verilog module for ALU
  2. All the cases were handled according to the circuit simulation design
  3. An inconsistency was done in case of ctr = 3, which is a buffer or not-used ctr statement, for this case in simulation model the results are preserved and not changed but in verilog module the results are made 0. This is done to keep ALU combinational in nature and not sequential.

Note: Please check Allow edits from maintainers. if you would like us to assist in the PR.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added the ability to generate a Verilog hardware description for the ALU module, allowing users to view or export the ALU's logic in Verilog format.

⌛ How to resolve this issue?

After the wait time has elapsed, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

We recommend that you space out your commits to avoid hitting the rate limit.

🚦 How do rate limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces hourly rate limits for each developer per organization.

Our paid plans have higher rate limits than the trial, open-source and free plans. In all cases, we re-allow further reviews after a brief timeout.

Walkthrough

A static method named moduleVerilog() was added to the ALU class in the JavaScript source. This method returns a Verilog hardware description of the ALU module, specifying its inputs, outputs, and operational logic using a case statement based on a control signal.

Changes

File(s) Change Summary
v1/src/simulator/src/modules/ALU.js Added static method moduleVerilog() to return Verilog description of the ALU module.

Objective (Issue #) Addressed Explanation
Implement Verilog module for ALU (#560)
Implement Verilog modules for SR Flip Flops, JK Flip Flops, T-Latch, ForceGate, LSB, MSB, etc. (#560) Only the ALU Verilog module is implemented; other modules are not addressed.

Assessment against linked issues: Out-of-scope changes

No out-of-scope changes were found. All modifications are directly related to implementing the Verilog module for the ALU as described in the linked issue.

182-236: Enhance method documentation and Verilog code formatting.

The method lacks proper JSDoc documentation and the Verilog code could benefit from improved formatting and more detailed comments.

Add JSDoc documentation and improve Verilog formatting:

+    /**
+     * @memberof ALU
+     * @static
+     * @returns {string} Verilog module code for ALU implementation
+     * @description Generates parameterized Verilog code for ALU with configurable bit width
+     */
     static moduleVerilog() {
         return `
-module ALU(cout, out, a, b, ctr);
+module ALU #(parameter WIDTH = 1)(cout, out, a, b, ctr);
+    // Input declarations
+    input  [WIDTH-1:0] a;       // First operand
+    input  [WIDTH-1:0] b;       // Second operand
+    input  [2:0] ctr;           // 3-bit control signal
+    
+    // Output declarations  
+    output reg [WIDTH-1:0] out; // ALU result
+    output reg cout;            // Carry out flag

208-211:

❓ Verification inconclusive

Verify the intentional behavioral difference for control signal 3.

The PR description mentions this difference is intentional, but it should be clearly documented and verified that this design choice aligns with the overall system requirements.

The JavaScript implementation leaves outputs unchanged for ctr=3, while Verilog sets them to zero. Please confirm this behavioral difference is acceptable in the target system:


🏁 Script executed:

#!/bin/bash
# Search for other references to ALU control signal 3 to understand expected behavior
rg -A 5 -B 5 "controlSignalInput.*3|ctr.*3|control.*3" --type js

Length of output: 11217


Verify reserved ALU control (3) behavior and update documentation

In v1/src/simulator/src/modules/ALU.js, the branch for

} else if (this.controlSignalInput.value === 3) {
    this.message = 'ALU'
}

only sets the message and leaves both this.output.value and this.carryOut.value unchanged, whereas in the Verilog RTL the 3'b011 case explicitly drives them to zero. Please:

  • Confirm this simulator–hardware discrepancy for control code 3 is intentional.
  • Add a clarifying comment next to the === 3 branch (and/or update the module’s README or design docs) stating that code 3 is reserved and leaves prior outputs intact in the simulator.

File to update:
• v1/src/simulator/src/modules/ALU.js — lines around the controlSignalInput.value === 3 branch
