Hello there, when trying to synthesize that code i get the following error from ise ERROR:Xst:827 - line 18: Signal count cannot be synthesized, bad synchronous description. The description style you are using to describe a synchronous element (register, memory, etc.) is not supported in the current software release. do you have any idea why that happens ? here is the code
library ieee; use ieee.std_logic_1164.all; use ieee.numeric_std.all; entity alt_clock is generic (time1 : integer:=3); port(clk,rst: in std_logic; done: out std_logic); end alt_clock; architecture aarch of alt_clock is begin P0:process(clk) -- this is the line 18 variable count :integer range time1 downto 0; begin if clk'event and clk='1' and rst='1' then count:=0; done<='0'; elsif clk'event and clk='1' and rst='0' then if count<time1 then count:=count+1; done<='0'; elsif count=time1 then done<='1'; count:=0; else null; end if; end if; end process; end aarch; |
are you sure you want to have a syncron reset? If so, make one clk'event and in there a if rst=x then... Also every signal which you read in a process should be in the process sensitivity list. And why declare an integer from three to zero? I count numbers ascending

In it you find how you must write your VHDL code to get your desired components. If you don't find your specific way of description, then the synthesizer cannot translate it to hardware. If your case the problem is the "double clock". This way of description you can find nowhere... BTW: forget variables fir the first weeks doing VHDL. They usually behave different than you expect.
