Earlier I had posted my simple hello_world.sv example. Now I want to dive into a slightly more comprehensive example. This example also communicates to the testbench so I can begin to explore SystemC for testing. hello_world.sv 123456789101112131415161718192021222324252627282930313233`timescale 1 ns / 10 ps module hello_world # ( parameter …
