Hello, for a school assignment I have to design a small ALU in vhdl which is able to run some basic instructions, this is made in quartus II web edition. When I compile and analyze the file with quartus no syntax errors are found, but when running the model sim I get an syntax error. I have already tried renaming the variables of the entity and re writing the code in different ways but I just cant get it to work. This is the error displayed in the modelsim log: # do ALU.do # ** Warning: (vlib-34) Library already exists at "work". # # Model Technology ModelSim ALTERA vlog 10.1d Compiler 2012.11 Nov 2 2012 # -- Compiling module ALU # # Top level modules: # ALU # Model Technology ModelSim ALTERA vlog 10.1d Compiler 2012.11 Nov 2 2012 # -- Compiling module ALU_vlg_sample_tst # -- Compiling module ALU_vlg_check_tst # ** Error: ALU.vt(62): near ",": syntax error, unexpected ',' # ** Error: c:/altera/13.0sp1/modelsim_ase/win32aloem/vlog failed. # Executing ONERROR command at macro ./ALU.do line 4 I have attached the vhdl file and the generated vt file. Thanks and regards, Mart

Both math libs std_logic_xxx and numeric_std define some similar data types and some similar artihmetic operations with them. You will encounter some strange problems and weird behaviour now and then. A hint: only use the numeric_std. It has and it can all you need. I see some "tricks" due to that:
1 | tempoutput <= std_logic_vector(ieee.numeric_std.unsigned(opcode(2 downto 0))) or tempoutput; |

Strange: a Verilog testbench and a VHDL module. What the heck! Do you have mixed language support with your Modelsim license?
module ALU_vlg_check_tst ( output, sampler_rx ); input [7:0] output; wire [7:0] output; ... Problem: You use output as name, but it is a reserved keyword in verilog. Solution: Rename your signals named "output". Hint: Replaceing all "output" in the file will NOT do the trick (-:
Hint2: Here is the list with the reserved keywords http://www.csit-sun.pub.ro/courses/Masterat/Materiale_Suplimentare/Xilinx%20Synthesis%20Technology/toolbox.xilinx.com/docsan/xilinx4/data/docs/xst/verilog10.html just to prevent you from renaming from "output" to another reserved keyword.
But indeed, very strange, the ALU.vt was generated by Altera Tools ans does not respect keywords. Lothar M. wrote: > Strange: a Verilog testbench and a VHDL module.

Homework_Service's solution worked! I renamed the output signal to a other name and the simulation worked fine. Thanks everyone for helping me out. Regards, Mart
