FPGA Verilog tristate buffer xilinx spartan 3 waveshare development board test

This video is part of a series to design a Controlled Datapath using a structural approach in Verilog. A Structural approach consist in designing all components needed for the design such as gates to form subsystems and then joining them together to form a larger design like adders and Arithmetic logic units.

The design in these labs was first developed in VHDL you can check the final VHDL version in the link below as well as instructions on how to set up the Waveshare development board to get started, the setup is the same for VHDL and Verilog:

module tri_state_buffer(
input data,
input enable,
output data_out
    );

assign data_out = enable ? data : 1'bz;
