`timescale 1ns/1ps // ================================================================ // C.5 certification: rtl/layer_sequencer.v with run_num_layers=0. // // The header documents run_num_layers as "1..N_LAYERS" but there is // no elaboration-time or runtime guard visible in the RTL enforcing // that range (unlike rtl/neuron_parallel.v's PARAMETER GUARD for // N_INPUTS%PARALLEL). layer_idx (rtl/layer_sequencer.v:121) is a full // 8-bit register, and the loop terminates on // `layer_idx == num_layers_reg - 8'd1` (line 303). For // num_layers_reg=0, that wraps to `layer_idx == 255` -- a value // layer_idx CAN naturally reach by counting up from 0 (unlike // BUG-002's 1-bit group_index, which could never represent the // wrapped value at all) -- so this is hypothesized to NOT hang, but // instead run through all 256 possible layer indices, each one // dispatching a full neuron_memory run with whatever garbage // descriptor bytes it reads from far beyond the real, N_LAYERS-sized // table. This test checks that hypothesis empirically rather than // asserting it. // // neuron_memory is NOT instantiated -- layer_sequencer only needs // nm_busy/nm_done as far as its own control-flow is concerned, so a // minimal fake responder (assert busy the cycle after nm_start, done // one cycle later) is enough to observe how many layer iterations // actually occur, without needing the full memory stack. // ================================================================ module tb; localparam ADDR_WIDTH = 23; localparam DATA_WIDTH = 8; localparam N_WIDTH = 8; localparam N_LAYERS = 4; reg clk, rst; reg run_start; reg [7:0] run_num_layers; wire seq_busy, seq_done; reg [ADDR_WIDTH-1:0] x_base, table_base, buf_a_base, buf_b_base; wire [ADDR_WIDTH-1:0] nm_x_base, nm_w_base, nm_bias_addr; wire [1:0] nm_activation; wire [15:0] nm_n_inputs, nm_n_neurons; wire nm_start; reg nm_busy, nm_done; reg signed [DATA_WIDTH*N_WIDTH-1:0] y_bus; wire ram_req, ram_wr; wire [ADDR_WIDTH-1:0] ram_addr; wire signed [7:0] ram_wdata; reg signed [7:0] ram_rdata; reg ram_ready; layer_sequencer #( .ADDR_WIDTH(ADDR_WIDTH), .DATA_WIDTH(DATA_WIDTH), .N_WIDTH(N_WIDTH), .N_LAYERS(N_LAYERS) ) dut ( .clk(clk), .rst(rst), .run_start(run_start), .run_num_layers(run_num_layers), .seq_busy(seq_busy), .seq_done(seq_done), .x_base(x_base), .table_base(table_base), .buf_a_base(buf_a_base), .buf_b_base(buf_b_base), .nm_x_base(nm_x_base), .nm_w_base(nm_w_base), .nm_bias_addr(nm_bias_addr), .nm_activation(nm_activation), .nm_n_inputs(nm_n_inputs), .nm_n_neurons(nm_n_neurons), .nm_start(nm_start), .nm_busy(nm_busy), .nm_done(nm_done), .y_bus(y_bus), .ram_req(ram_req), .ram_wr(ram_wr), .ram_addr(ram_addr), .ram_wdata(ram_wdata), .ram_rdata(ram_rdata), .ram_ready(ram_ready) ); initial begin clk = 0; forever #5 clk = ~clk; end // Minimal always-1-cycle-latency RAM stub: any request completes // next cycle, content is a fixed byte (irrelevant to this check -- // only iteration COUNT and eventual termination matter here). always @(posedge clk) begin ram_ready <= ram_req; ram_rdata <= 8'sd0; end // Minimal fake neuron_memory: busy one cycle after start, done one // cycle after that. reg [1:0] nm_state; always @(posedge clk) begin if (rst) begin nm_busy <= 0; nm_done <= 0; nm_state <= 0; end else begin nm_done <= 0; case (nm_state) 0: if (nm_start) begin nm_busy <= 1; nm_state <= 1; end 1: begin nm_busy <= 0; nm_done <= 1; nm_state <= 0; end endcase end end integer watchdog; initial begin rst <= 1; run_start <= 0; run_num_layers <= 0; x_base <= 0; table_base <= 0; buf_a_base <= 0; buf_b_base <= 0; y_bus <= 0; repeat(3) @(posedge clk); rst <= 0; @(posedge clk); $display("--- run_num_layers=0: does it hang, or run through 256 garbage layers? ---"); run_num_layers <= 8'd0; run_start <= 1; @(posedge clk); run_start <= 0; watchdog = 0; while (!seq_done && watchdog < 200000) begin @(posedge clk); watchdog = watchdog + 1; end if (!seq_done) begin $display("RESULT: run_num_layers=0 HANGS -- no seq_done in %0d cycles, seq_busy=%b, layer_idx=%0d", watchdog, seq_busy, dut.layer_idx); end else begin $display("RESULT: run_num_layers=0 completed after %0d cycles -- dut.layer_idx ended at %0d (0=terminated immediately as if 0 real layers, 255=ran all 256 possible indices before the wraparound check fired, something else=partial)", watchdog, dut.layer_idx); end $finish; end endmodule
