Block statements provide a mechanism to group sets of statements together. Sequential blocks have a begin and end around the statement. The block can declare its own variables, and those variables are specific to that block. The sequential block can also have a name associated with that block. The format is as follows:

begin [: block name]

[declarations]

[statements]

end [: block name]

 

begin : my_block

logic temp;

temp = in1 & in2;

out1 = temp;

end : my_block

In the previous example, the block name is also specified after the end statement. This makes the code more readable, but it is not required.

Note:   Parallel blocks (or fork join blocks) are not supported in Vivado synthesis.
