Hello. I do not understand, how i can do next thing.

My block have 3 input ports and 1 output port. Input ports are 
fast_clock,slow_clock,enable. Output port is clock_out. So, i want to 
change a front of slow_clock in time of change "enable" (it's changing 
from 0 to 1 and have it value all time long) or 1-3 times of 
"fast_clock". Front changing's rule is: if slow_clock = '1' then 
clock_out = '1' else clock_out = not(slow_clock). My blocks after this 
blocks must feel changing a front ( in VHDL language: rising_edge(clk) 
).


I want to get "clock_out" with the same frequancy that "slow_clock", but 
if "enable" changing from '0' to '1' or after 1-3 times of "fast_clock" 
my next blocks must feel changing from low front to high front.

I tried to do it with next code:

1
process(enb,fast_clock,slow_clock)

2
begin

3
  if rising_edge(fast_clock) then

4
    if enb='1' then

5
      if slow_clock='1' then

6
        clock_out <= slow_clock;

7
      elsif slow_clock='0' then

8
        clk_out <= not(slow_clock);

9
      end if;

10
    else

11
      clk_out <= '0';

12
    end if;

13
  end if;

14
  end process;

Even this can be reduced further on: take enb out of the sensitivity 
list. A clock would be enough...

Uhhmmmm, could you draw that as a schematic or a block diagram? Then it 
is easy to describe with VHDL (as VHDL is a description language).
Or maybe you can draw a timing diagram where it can be seen, what 
shlud happen.

I have 2 independent data streams, and i must start to send both synch 
with special mark of time. The mark has 100 ns high front and 1 second 
has low front; and it's periodic signal.

Freq.-s of both signals is non-constant.

I try to do next thing: when the first high front of mark come i make 
"enable" signal. After changing the "enable" signal starts to work some 
blocks, and both of streams i'm writing in RAM (not at all 1 second 
long,of course). When next mark coming i make "enable" for reading from 
RAM and in start post's i wrote my attempt to generate clock for 
reading.

Timing diagram here.

/Mark of time/: 100 ns high front and 1 second has low front signal;

enable_1 - blocks start to work from this signal;

write_enable - enable to write RAM;

read_enable - enable to read RAM;

clock for reading - (red color) this signal i want to use for reading 
from RAM and it i tried in the first post.

And finally, out data - one (for simplify) data stream what i have.
