In my code I have two instantiations of different modules: module1 myModule1 (in1, out1); module2 myModule2 (out1, out2); As you can see, my main goal is to make the input on my second module be dependent on the result of the output of my first module. However, to my understanding, out1 doesn't have a value at the beginning since everything happens at the same time and out1 hasn't been calculated from the first module. How am I supposed to go about this in code?
If you give all storage elements (e.g. registers, memories) an initial value and you have all inputs well defined, everything is OK. If not (i.e. you'll get unknown or undefined signals in your simulation) track the signals down to where they origin from and give initial values. Even if you don't give initial values for the storage elements, they should eventually end up in defined states in a good design (inputs are mandatory to be well-defined, of course).
