I’m a student in VHDL design and I am trying to create an accumulator in VHDL. This is my code :
Code VHDL - [expand] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 Library IEEE; use IEEE.std_logic_1164.all; use IEEE.std_logic_arith.all; use IEEE.std_logic_unsigned.all; entity AC is Port ( store : in STD_LOGIC; ld_AC : in STD_LOGIC; RAZ : in STD_LOGIC; clk : in STD_LOGIC; D : in STD_LOGIC_VECTOR (15 downto 0); Q : out STD_LOGIC_VECTOR (15 downto 0); Q_mem : out STD_LOGIC_VECTOR (15 downto 0)); end AC; architecture Behavioral of AC is signal temp: STD_LOGIC_VECTOR (15 downto 0); begin process (RAZ,clk) begin if RAZ = '0' then Q <= (Q'range => '0'); elsif (clk='1' and clk'event) then if (ld_AC ='1') then temp <= D; else if (store='1') then Q <= temp; else Q <= "ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ"; end if; end if; end process; end Behavioral;
I have an error «syntax error near process». Can anybody help me ? I think I forgot an «end if» but i’m note sure.
Thank you.
Bob

you cannot use software syntaxes in your vhdl code.you need to use the vhdl syntaxes.
what software syntax are you referring to? The op just made a simple error as imbichi pointed out.
its much easier for the op if you actually help, rather than just make some vague comments

i am surprised that it is you who is telling such sweet things!!!…you never gave me any freebies when I was a fresher …i do not know if you do remember them…btw I dont consider it vague because «else if» is a basic error and the compiler would definitely show where the person what is wrong…i am just telling the op to go through the basic syntaxes and its the way to go about…else if are the commands you use in software based compilers….these are the errors which should be avoided…

The op made a simple typing error. Otherwise the code is good. Its hardly written like software.

On a design, rather than code point, you cannot tri state an output ( well you can, but there’s no point.)

well there are more bad responses at xilinx user forums for a silly typing error…i am sure you are aware of it…

Yes, you can tristate an output, creating a tristate driver, and it can well serve a purpose. Consider e.g. the data port of a bus connected ROM, or simply an open drain output.
Regarding the «else if» syntax error, it can be legal VHDL syntax, but needs another closing end if. You can see elsif just as a shortcut.
if condition_a then
--
else if condition_b then
--
end if;
end if;

Why I have If-then VHDL errors in my code?

mmh, strange, I’ll check that

if else in vhdl
first i think that you miss a «end if» in your code
you have two if so you mast write two end if
i wish to view all the code if you can

vhdl if statement outside process
U have write sequential statements inside the process.
The if else statements are sequential statements. so u need to write these statements inside the process.
I think u r trying to write state mechine it should be change the state with respect to clock,
include clock event statements in process sensitivity list, u can refer any VHDL state mechine examples.

vhdl if then else
if(m==load) is the correct syntax
if(condition)
u r using
if(assignment)
as girisha told make sure ur if part is in a process

vhdl illegal sequential statement
There is missing a begin statement after the type and signal declarations.

error (10500) vhdl
Thanks very much for all the responses. First, the code that I posted was not a state machine. My code does deal with a state machine, but the one posted wasn’t one. Also there are correct number of «end if» statements in my code. In any case, here’s the full part of the architecture (the code is still incomplete, but I think it should compile nevertheless):
Elephantus
Junior Member level 3
Is a sequential statement, not a concurrent one, and cannot be written outside a process begin/end block. Therefore, you can write it as:
Or, you might use the concurrent assignment form:
which can be safely written in an architecture body.
Hope this helps.

vhdl if condition
Thanks. Can you explain why you are considering m to be a clock? (since the if-then clause is sequential). I thought it was purely combinational.
rsrinivas
Advanced Member level 1
syntax of if statement in vhdl
if is a sequential statement and it should be present in a process.
But when u synthesise if statements it becomes MUX which is combinational.

error (10500): vhdl
In this process, m is not a clock. Synchronous (clocked) logic is described in a different manner in VHDL.
When you define a process:
The signals in the parentheses are the members of the process’ sensitivity list. This means that the sequential statements in the process will re-execute and re-evaluate on any change of any signal in the list. The code described above is a purely combinatorial process:
The general rule is: when you describe complex combinatorial functions in VHDL, use processes and assign ALL inputs of the combinatorial process to the sensitivity list.
Synchronous processes (registers) need to trigger only on a rising or falling edge of a clock signal.
The process above describes a d type flip flop which samples the input d on the rising edge of clk. Note that only the global set-reset (gsr) and the clock signal are in the process sensitivity list. That’s because these are the only signals the process must react to. As you can see, the presence of the clk signal in the sensitivity list is not sufficient to make it a clock signal. The condition that the change happens at rising_edge(clk) makes clk a clock signal, and the synthesis tools recognize clk as a clock signal through the rising edge condition.
The general rule would be: When describing synchronous logic, use processes triggered by a clk and an async reset signal (if needed), and make the assignment conditional by the rising_edge(clk) or falling_edge(clk). (see code above)
Also, don’t mix sequential statements with sequential logic. VHDL as a language consists of sequential statements (which are executed in order) and concurrent statements (which are executed in parallel). Sequential statements do not directly correspond with sequential(synchronous) logic.

*The message error is : Error (10500): VHDL syntax error at Four_Bits_Adder.vhd(18) near text «if»; expecting «;», or an identifier («if» is a reserved keyword), or «architecture»*
The 4 bits adder code is :
Library ieee;
Use ieee.std_logic_1164.all;
Use ieee.numeric_std.all;
Use ieee.std_logic_unsigned.all;
entity Four_Bits_Adder is
port(A,B:in std_logic_vector(3 downto 0);
S:out std_logic_vector(3 downto 0);
Cout:out std_logic);
end Four_Bits_Adder;
architecture description of Four_Bits_Adder is
begin
S<= A+B;
if A(3)=1 then
if B(3)=1 then
Cout<=1;
end if;
end if;
end description;
An if
statement is a sequential statement, and from your usage should either be in a process statement or you should instead use a concurrent signal assignment statement. It hardly seems complex enough for a process statement.
Concurrent assignment statement:
Cout <= A(3) and B(3);
Note that concurrent assignment statement using an expression as the value in it’s signal assignment can pass values other than ‘0’ or ‘1’.
A different style of concurrent signal assignment statement could pass only binary representing enumeration values:
Cout <= '1' when A(3) = '1' and B(3) = '1' else '0';
(Your if
statement also appears to infer a latch and could be optimized as a constant ‘1’).
Note also that your original if
nested statements could be expressed with a BOOLEAN and
which is a short-circuit operator taking the place of Ada’s if expression and then ...
. Without one or more intervening statements following an if
statement (including it’s end if
) there is no reason to nest if
statements with different expressions. The short-circuit operator would only evaluate the subsequent expression if the first expression evaluated true.
The form would be along the lines of
if A(3) = '1' and B(3) = '1' then
Cout <= '1';
end if;
And could still only be used where a sequential statement is appropriate.
Note that std_logic requires enumeration values (‘U’, ‘X’, ‘0’, ‘1’,…) while 1
is a numeric value and would result in errors.
