@boyfriendnibluefairy Hello. After i use the iverilog -o half_adder_tb.vvp half_adder_tb.v command this pops up "No top level modules, and no -s option.". I followed all the steps. Why did this happen?
In Quartus and other HDL IDE, when the terminal prompts "No top level modules..." This means the compiler is looking for a module or file (in our case .v file) that is responsible for accessing lower level files. The command above means iverilog is a command that is executed to compile "half_adder_tb.v" but remember that "half_adder_tb.v" needs to access "half_adder.v". This is what I can deduce from the terminal prompt. Is "half_adder.v" in the same directory with your test bench? If yes, does the character before the keyword include in the code the same as what is shown in the video? That character is beside the character 1 in your keyboard and not beside the return button...
The terminal "iverilog -v" worked but I still couldn't create file.vvp Error: Include file half_adder.v not found I tried removing the line `include "half_adder.v" but it still doesn't work

Thank you for detailed guide on installing Icarus and GTKWave. I would like to add few points that would help future views 1) If you are facing "not recognised as an internal and external command" go to th-cam.com/video/oWlJa_DGAzc/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=DeepakPrasad%28IITGUWAHATI%29 2) If clear is not working , use cls 3) make use of if facing "syntax error line 26" just remove last #1 4) if you do not find "terminal" side of ports or console debug, just go to terminal in task bar Hope it helps
okay, for those who are having trouble with iverilog is not a recognizable blah blah blah e all you need to do is add the iverilog/bin directory to the path on this pc>advance system settings> environment variables under user varibles, double click "Path" and paste the iverilog/bin same with system vaiable "Path" but now... im having another problem creating .vvp file its giving me a message "No top level modules, and no -s option." any help?
when you execute "iverilog -o filename.vvp filename.v" were you able to create .vvp file? If you have a lot of .v files in one folder, chances are, you have a lot of modules. iverilog is confused which among these modules is the top-level module. Or if you don't have a .v file in the current directory, then it cannot locate any module at all.
If you have a lot of modules, for example file1.v file2.v file3.v and among these modules file2.v is your top module then you should execute "iverilog -o filename.vpp -s file2.v"
Is "half_adder.v" in the same directory with your test bench? If yes, does the character before the keyword include in the code the same as what is shown in the video? That character is beside the character 1 in your keyboard and not beside the return button...
what does the error say? I'm thinking of two possible reasons. 1. the location of vpp executable is not added in the environment varibales. 2. the location of your .vpp files and your current terminal directory is different
Error 'a' has already been declared in this scope. It was declared here as a variable. 'b' has already been declared in this scope. It was declared here as a variable And this is what I'm getting in the terminal. And in Problems Include half_adder.v not found iverilog.
at step 35:36, did you generate a .vcd file? Not sure how to fix your problem, can you just reinstall the libraries then restart your computer, before using the vvp command...
@@boyfriendnibluefairy at 35:00 i am getting error it is showing that half_adder.v: No such file or directory .I am not able to create the vvp file .can you please help me?

The vcd file should be created after the vpp command. Can you view your folder in terms of "details" instead of "list" just to make sure the extension is not simply hidden in plain sight?
It's not necessarily in the iverilog folder, it's supposed to be in the same directory with your .v file. Another possbile reason is the sequence of file names in the command specified at time stamp 34:49. If it's still not working can you reply the error messages here?
@@justinrangad9065 can you try saving the files in your users director, for example C:\Users\\Desktop I'm not sure if this has something to do with access issues in some directory. Also, try to reinstall iverilog libraries in a new directory, then update the new location of those libraries in your path variables. I'm not sure if some of your directories have restricted access. Also, try to show hidden folder/files in a directory. Or the file is there, your OS just hide the extension .vpp
Perhaps we should stick we with "sample_circuit_tb.v" and also the same name inside the code for module name because I'm not sure with the algorithm of Icarus

Hi Pemmaka, not sure what exactly the problem is without the step by step procedure. Here are my guess solutions: 1. You may close VS code and then restart your entire computer and then try it again. 2. The directory of the verilog libraries was not saved or was incorrectly saved in the environment PATH variable. 3. Kindy remove the verilog extension from VS code and then reinstall the extension again. 4. Uninstall old VS code and then install an updated VS code. Hope it helps
