SPI slave problem

That's almost certainly wrong. I can't vouch for the rest.

rest.

Thanks for prompt response! but can you elaborate a bit more?

I'm a VHDL guy, but I think it should be

reg [2:0] num;

Best regards,

ben! thanks for clue. Let me try and i'll get back to you as i'm also not a verilog guy;-)

Cheers

I haven't checked in detail but move "num = num - 1;" inside the check for SCK rising otherwise it gets decremented for every clockcycle not every SCK cycle.

easy spot if you run a simulation ;)

simply stated you should study Verilog more seriously. Especially topics like blocking and non-blocking assignments and how they are synthesized.

Is it true for Verilog? Because at least XST regards initial values in VHDL. I know some years ago, they had been ignored.

As a blanket statement, Ralf is incorrect in stating that "initial values are ignored during synthesis". First of all it depends on the target device: Does the target device have a defined state at power up (CPLD) or after configuration (FPGA). Many devices do have such a definition. The second consideration is the tool set used to synthesize the bitstream from the source code. Some tools might not support an initial value. It really does not depend on the language itself but the synthesis tool.

In any case, it's not hard to find a device and tool that will support initial values. Ralf's advice to use a reset though is well founded. Having something that depends solely on the power up reset state is 'usually' not sound design practice. Again though there are exceptions, the shift chain that one should use to generate a synchronous reset being a good example.

Thank you for your kindly help...

I have tried your program on my board, however, I still can't get my desired result... I am now trying a new program on my board in a different way... to check whether the board can receive incoming signal correctly or not...

I have just succeed a little on the SPI between ATmega 128 and Xilinx Spartan-3E. The board now can displays my desired bit pattern.
