Initialize registers in Verilog-2001 when they are declared.

The initial value:

°Is a constant.

°Cannot depend on earlier initial values.

°Cannot be a function or task call.

°Can be a parameter value propagated to the register.

°Specifies all bits of a vector.

When you assign a register as an initial value in a declaration, Vivado synthesis sets this value on the output of the register at global reset or power up.

When a value is assigned in this manner:

°The value is carried in the Verilog file as an INIT attribute on the register.

°The value is independent of any local reset.
