array of an entity

hi guys

I have register entity in my program.
the question is there will be 16 different registers in a very simple 
cpu. I should access each of these registers and according to read , 
write and select_register inputs, read or write on the selected 
register.

my problem is how to define an array of registers that let me read or 
write on them.

I mean something like this:

----type reg16 is array (0 to 15) of reg;----

thank you

Try something like this:

1
entity GENREG is

2
  generic (

3
    WIDTH : integer := 8);           -- register width

4
  port (

5
    SysxC      : in  std_logic;

6
    -- Register input path

7
    ReqInxSO   : out std_logic;

8
    AckInxSI   : in  std_logic;

9
    InxDI      : in  unsigned(WIDTH-1 downto 0);

10
    -- Register output path

11
    ReqOutxSI  : in  std_logic;

12
    AckOutxSO  : out std_logic;

13
    OutxDO     : out unsigned(WIDTH-1 downto 0);

14
    -- Status

15
    RegBusyxSO : out std_logic;

16
    -- CSR interface

17
    SoftResxSI : in  std_logic := '0'

18
        );                                                   

19
end GENREG;


This is generic width inside the register. If you want a number of 
entities instantiated, try something like:

1
REG : for i in 0 to NR_REG-1 generate

2
  -- Instances

3
end generate REG;

First define one of those 'reg' s. Maybe it's good to use a record for 
it.
Then  transfer this definition in a package and define the register set 
exactly the way you already did.
