I'm new to VHDL and require some help. I'm Interfacing with Artix 7 to make a simple modular multiplier but i have some problems. When I synthesize my code i get some warnings which i think are wrong so i ignored them. when I run post route simulation i got the results as required but when i burned the code on hardware i get a different answer for the same value that i check in the stimulus. Can some one please help me. the warnings that i get are: Xst:737 - Found 1-bit latch for signal <zt<1>>. Latches may be generated from incomplete case or if statements. We do not recommend the use of latches in FPGA/CPLD designs, as they may lead to timing problems. Xst:1710 - FF/Latch <C_b_out_30> (without init value) has a constant value of 0 in block <Montgomery_multiplier>. This FF/Latch will be trimmed during the optimization process. Xst:1895 - Due to other FF/Latch trimming, FF/Latch <z8_19> (without init value) has a constant value of 0 in block <Montgomery_multiplier>. This FF/Latch will be trimmed during the optimization process. Xst:3001 - This design contains one or more registers or latches with an active asynchronous set and asynchronous reset. While this circuit can be built, it creates a sub-optimal implementation in terms of area, power and performance. For a more optimal implementation Xilinx highly recommends one of the following: 1) Remove either the set or reset from all registers and latches if not needed for required functionality 2) Modify the code in order to produce a synchronous set and/or reset (both is preferred) 3) Use the -async_to_sync option to transform the asynchronous set/reset to synchronous operation (timing simulation highly recommended when using this option)
There is a very simple design rule concerning latches: Do not use latches. The problems you are seeing are very likely a direct result of having latches. Correct your design until you have no latch warnings.
