On this page you will find a series of tutorials introducing SystemVerilog for FPGA design and verification. These tutorials take you through all the steps required to start using SystemVerilog and are aimed at total beginners.
These posts are primarily focused on the use of SystemVerilog in FPGA design. However, SystemVerilog is also widely used in the verification of FPGAs. If you are interested in learning more about the verification features of the language then you may also wish to take one of these SystemVerilog courses.

If Statements and Case Statements in SystemVerilog
In this post we talk about two of the most commonly used constructs in SystemVerilog – the if statement and the case statement. We have seen in a previous post how use procedural blocks such as the always block to write SystemVerilog code which executes sequentially. We can also use a number of statements within procedural blocks which control the way that signals are assigned in our SystemVerilog designs. Collectively, these statements are known as sequential statements. The case statement and the if statement are both examples of sequential statements in SystemVerilog. In the rest of this post, we talk …
