Questions From Last Lecture? VHDL questions

Announcements/Reminders HW1 due next Friday MP1 will be released Friday night. Common tools issue: You may need to set the path to vsim in ise If you are new to VHDL or need a refresher, then READ the Shock and Awe VHDL tutorial. Feel free to ask me questions if you need any further clarification on any topics

Overview Detailed in class VHDL example An intro to MP1 A demo for getting started with MP1

What you should learn A better understanding of how to describe hardware structures using VHDL

VHDL: IF and CASE constructs IF THEN ELSE can be mapped to a 2:1 Multiplexer (Mux) sel = b“0” IF (sel = ‘0’) THEN out_1 <= in_0; ELSE out_1 <= in_1 END IF; x”C” 4 2:1 Mux in_0 4 out_1 x”C” 4 x”D” in_1

VHDL: IF and CASE constructs Mapping a CASE statement to a 4:1 Mux CASE sel is WHEN “00” => out_1 <= in_0; WHEN “01” => out_1 <= in_1; WHEN “10” => out_1 <= in_2; WHEN “11” => out_1 <= in_3 WHEN OTHERS => END CASE; sel = b“10” 2 x”C” 4 in_0 4:1 Mux 4 x”D” in_1 4 out_1 x”7” 4 x”7” in_2 4 x”2” in_3 Why do we need others here?

std_logic, std_logic_vector Very common data types std_logic Single bit value Values: U, X, 0, 1, Z, W, H, L, - Example: signal A : std_logic; A <= ‘1’; Std_logic_vector: is an array of std_logic Example: signal A : std_logic_vector (4 downto 0); A <= x“00Z001”
