There are three main ways to instantiate and connect modules:

The first two are by ordered list and by name, as in Verilog.

The third is by named ports.

If the names of the ports of a module match the names and types of signals in an instantiating module, the lower-level module can by hooked up by name. For example:

module lower (

 output [4:0] myout;

 input clk;

 input my_in;

 input [1:0] my_in2;

... ...

endmodule

//in the instantiating level.

lower my_inst (.myout, .clk, .my_in, .my_in2);
