Problem: Prob011_norgate

Specification:

I would like you to implement a module named TopModule with the following
interface. All input and output ports are one bit unless otherwise
specified.

 - input  a
 - input  b
 - output out

The module should implement a NOR gate.



Reference implementation:

module RefModule (
  input a,
  input b,
  output out
);

  assign out = ~(a | b);

endmodule



Testbench:
`timescale 1 ps/1 ps
`define OK 12
`define INCORRECT 13


module stimulus_gen (
	input clk,
	output reg a, b,
	output reg[511:0] wavedrom_title,
	output reg wavedrom_enable
);


// Add two ports to module stimulus_gen:
//    output [511:0] wavedrom_title
//    output reg wavedrom_enable

	task wavedrom_start(input[511:0] title = "");
	endtask
	
	task wavedrom_stop;
		#1;
	endtask	



	initial begin
		int count; count = 0;
		{a,b} <= 1'b0;
		wavedrom_start("NOR gate");
		repeat(10) @(posedge clk)
			{a,b} <= count++;		
		wavedrom_stop();
		
		repeat(200) @(posedge clk, negedge clk)
			{b,a} <= $random;
			
		#1 $finish;
	end
	
endmodule
