verilog - How to define a parameterized multiplexer using SystemVerilog

Question

I am trying to create a module which switches x input data packets to a single output packet according to a one hot input.

If x was a fixed value of 4, I would just create a case statement,

case (onehot)
  4'b0001  : o_data = i_data[0];
  4'b0010  : o_data = i_data[1];
  4'b0100  : o_data = i_data[2];
  4'b1000  : o_data = i_data[3];
  default  : o_data = 'z;
endcase

But with variable x, how do I define all cases?

Thanks.

Answer 1

parameter X = 4;  

input [X-1:0] onehot;
input i_data [X];
output reg o_data;

always_comb 
begin
   o_data = 'z;
   for(int i = 0; i < X; i++) begin
      if (onehot == (1 << i))
         o_data = i_data[i];
   end
end
