Hi,
I am trying to multipy an std_logic_vector with a negatif number :
library IEEE;
use IEEE.STD_LOGIC_1164.ALL;
use IEEE.numeric_std.all;
use ieee.std_logic_arith.all;
use ieee.std_logic_unsigned.all;
entity mul_main is
Port ( a :in STD_LOGIC_VECTOR( 0 to 7);
clk: in STD_LOGIC;
c :out STD_LOGIC_VECTOR(0 to 15)
);
end mul_main;
architecture Behavioral of mul_main is
begin
p: process(clk)
begin
if (clk' event and clk='1') then
c <= (-2)* a;
end if;
end process;
end Behavioral;
But, I'm getting this error: * can not have such operands in this
context
In fact, I want to multiply an std_logic_vector with a positif or
negatif constant , unfortunately, I'm getting the same problem.
Can you help me please.
Thanks in advance

I advise you to use the signed and unsigned vectors and the conversions from the numeric_std. Try this with Google translator: http://www.lothar-miller.de/s9y/categories/16-Numeric_Std
