accessing signals in lower modules

[sunitajain@gmail.com]

Hi all,

I have a design which has a top module and several modules
instantiated. It is more like a hierarchy with 4 levels.

I want to probe a few signals using chipscope. I need to monitor some
signals in a module at the bottommost level to some in higher level
modules.
Is there an easier way of reading the signals lower down in the
hierarchy at the top level? I tried using the dot operator, but that
doesn't help.

Can anyone suggest a better method of doing it? I need to probe some
signals at different levels in the hierarchy.

thanks,
SJ

Hi,

what was the problem with dot operator.

It should work.
