problem with testbench

[crazyrdx]

Dear all,

I have been trying to test my CRC generator, but am unable to find out
why it doesnt seem to work, the CRC value generated is always FFFFFFFF
(for 32 bit crc). I think it could be my testbench im not sure

could someone please help me with this

THE CRC GENERATOR code is


library IEEE;
use IEEE.std_logic_1164.all;
use IEEE.std_logic_unsigned.all;

entity crcGenerator is

generic (WIDTH_BYTE : integer:=8;
WIDTH_CRC : integer:=32
);
port (
clk : in STD_LOGIC; -- Input clock
rst : in STD_LOGIC; --
Asynchronous active low reset
newFrame : in STD_LOGIC; -- Assert to
restart calculations
newByte : in STD_LOGIC; -- Assert to
indicate a crcValid input byte
inByte : in STD_LOGIC_VECTOR (7 downto 0); -- Input byte
crcValid : out STD_LOGIC; -- Indicates
crcValid CRC. Active HIGH
crcValue : out STD_LOGIC_VECTOR (31 downto 0) -- CRC output
);

end crcGenerator;




architecture crcGenerator_arch of crcGenerator is

signal presState : STD_LOGIC; -- current state
constant stIdle : STD_LOGIC := '0';
constant stCalc : STD_LOGIC := '1';

signal bitCnt : INTEGER range 0 to 7; -- counts bit in stCalc
signal byteCnt : INTEGER range 0 to 4; -- counts the four initial bytes
signal crcValueInt : STD_LOGIC_VECTOR (31 downto 0); -- stores current
crc
signal latchedByte : STD_LOGIC_VECTOR (7 downto 0); -- latches input
byte
signal reversedByte : STD_LOGIC_VECTOR (7 downto 0); -- bit
reversedinByte
signal lastNewByte : STD_LOGIC; -- previous value of newByte




-- Generator polynomial is
-- 32 26 23 22 16 12 11 10 8 7 5 4 2
-- x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + 1
constant GENERATOR : STD_LOGIC_VECTOR := X"04C11DB7";

XOR GENERATOR;

end if;
end if;

end process;
end crcGenerator_arch;

Hi,
Didn't test it through, but for sure you don't need the "if
S_clk'event " stuff in your second process:

i.e.

process(S_count)
begin

case S_count is
when 0 =>

if S_clk'event and S_clk = '1' then
Remove this...
S_inByte<=x"00";

end if;
when 1 =>

Thanks, still checking it out
