Single-Driver Data Line using uwire

Question

Problem: Single-Driver Data Line using uwire. Solve this hands-on electronics task on EWskills.

Accepted Answer

module single_driver_line(
  input  wire d1, d2,
  output uwire y            // uwire: unresolved wire
);
  // LEGAL: single driver
  assign y = d1;

  // ILLEGAL (uncomment to see compile-time error due to multiple drivers on uwire):
  // assign y = d2;
endmodule

⚠️ Notice: uwire is not supported by current version of synthesizer.

💡 Remember

uwire = unresolved wire : multiple drivers are illegal at compile time.
Use it to enforce architectural intent (exactly one driver).
If you need resolution, use wire/tri (with care) or wand/wor by design.
