Vivado synthesis supports some block statements, as follows:

  • Block statements group statements together. Begin and end keywords designate them. Block statements execute the statements in the order listed within the block.
  • Vivado synthesis supports sequential blocks only.
  • Vivado synthesis does not support parallel blocks.
  • You place all procedural statements in blocks defined inside modules.
  • The two kinds of procedural blocks are initial block and always block
  • Verilog uses begin and end keywords within each block to enclose the statements. Synthesis ignores initial blocks, so describe only always blocks.
  • always blocks usually take the following format. Each statement is a procedural assignment line terminated by a semicolon.
always

statement
.... end
