Access a vector stored in another vector in verilog

Question

I want to access elements (8 bits long) stored in an "array", then do a logic AND with some switches. So far, not working:

module top(SW, LED);
input [15:0] SW;
output [15:0] LED;
logic [4:0] q = {8'b11101000,
8'b10011000,
8'b10100010,
8'b10110110,
8'b10000101
};
assign LED[7:0] = q[0] & SW[7:0]; 
endmodule

I expect to have 8'b11101000 & SW[7:0] but clearly I'm not having that because of the result I'm seeing on the leds. How can I achieve this?

• The Photon: logic [7:0] q [4:0] = {...};, AFAIK.

Answer 1

You want

const logic [4:0] q[5] = {8'b11101000,
 8'b10011000,
 8'b10100010,
 8'b10110110,
 8'b10000101
};
