dct verilog

[Shakes]

hi,

I downloaded the DCT verilog module from the altera website.
http://www.altera.com/support/examples/verilog/ver_dct.html

I ran a simulation using simple testbench that sends 0,1,2,...63 as
the input parameters. The dct_out(output signal) never sends out any
result and it always xxxxxx. From the initial basic understanding of
the code, the reading the writing of local memory seems done
incorrectly.

Also the original code has some compilation errors which is given
below. Some of the reg needed to be converted to wires to compile. It
didn't not seem to alter the functionality.

Error (10663): Verilog HDL Port Connection error at dct.v(88): output
or inout port "result" must be connected to a structural net
expression.

Is this IP tested and verified?

Thanks
regards
Shakith

I think you can do DCT as a systolic array. I didn't look at
the web site to see if that is what it is doing, though.

The statement above answers the question (above).

How much testing would you expect to be completed on a module that
doesn't compile?
