innologic doesn't support symbolic seeds
While this is entirely reasonable, the tool should at least provide an error message.
For example, the following module should formally (and rather cleverly ;) find that a seed of 42 will randomly generate 0x802c4400:
-------------------------------------------------- module top; reg [31:0] seed; reg [31:0] r; initial begin $esp_var(seed); $write("SEED = %d\n",seed); r = $random(seed); $write("Generates %h\n",r); if (r==='h802c4400) $esp_error("Found seed [42] that gens 0x802c4400"); end endmodule --------------------------------------------------
