1) Hi, I'm trying to write a code that looks like this
1
localparam NUM_OF_LINES = 2;

2
localparam ROWS = 2;

3


4
genvar i, j;

5


6
generate

7
  for (i = 0; i < NUM_OF_LINES; i = i+1)

8
    begin: lines_loop 

9
      for (i = 0; i < NUM_OF_ROWS; i = i+1)

10
         begin: rows_loop

11
            always @(posedge clk)

12
               data[i][j] <= prev_data [i][j];

13
        end

14
    end


ofcourse all the regs are declared.
I can't compile it when it's like that, what is the right syntax for 
loop within a loop?


2)

localparam WIDTH = 10;

How can I right an addition command with the width of the parameter?

explanation: I'm trying to do:

data <= data + 1;

when data is the width of WIDTH but I don't want it to do the addition 
with 32 bits so i tried to write "data <= data + WIDTH'h1" but it's not 
working

What error message do you get?

Lets go one step back: do you know, that a 'loop' in a HDL is completely 
different from a loop in C?

To keep things short: a clock inside a HDL loop is a very tricky thing. 
What hardware do you expect for that? What hardware do you want to 
"describe"? (as HDL is read "hardware DESCRIPTION language" you should 
know what hardware you want to describe...)

I want to describe assigning from the registers of "prev_data"
to the registers of "data", both of them are 2 dimention registers 
array.
