Interfacing 4x4 keypad with 16x2 LCD on FPGA using VHDL

Hello all! I have recently dived into the world of FPGA, and have 
challenged my self to see if you are able to take an input from a 4x4 
keypad and display the output on an 16x2 LCD utilizing the DE-10 LITE 
FPGA board on quartus. I have found out how to send the keypad inputs to 
seven segment display and how to utilize the LCD on it's own.. although 
now putting the two together is where I have hit a brick wall. As you 
all know there is not much VHDL resources online so if anyone has 
accomplished this please feel free to respond and lend a helping hand 
thank you!

Can you show the internal interfaces of your keypad controller and your 
lcd controller?
Maybe you need a state machine to connect both things together.

My lcd controller looks like this:
1
entity lcd_controller is

2
    generic

3
    (

4
        clk_frequency : integer := 10_000_000

5
    );

6
    port 

7
    (

8
        clk     : in  std_ulogic;

9
        --

10
        line1   : std_ulogic_vector( 127 downto 0)   := ( others => '0');

11
        line2   : std_ulogic_vector( 127 downto 0)   := ( others => '0');

12
        update  : std_ulogic                         := '0';

13
        --

14
        db      : out std_ulogic_vector(7 downto 0);

15
        rs      : out std_ulogic;

16
        rw      : out std_ulogic;

17
        en      : out std_ulogic

18
    );

19
end entity lcd_controller;
