Hello,
I have some unused bits of a bit vector in my entity.
This bit vector is the data bus and I do not use all bits of this bus.
Here is a example what I want to do:
entity top is
Port ( clk : in STD_LOGIC;
rst : in STD_LOGIC;
we_n: in STD_LOGIC;
output : out STD_LOGIC_VECTOR (23 downto 0);
data : in STD_LOGIC_VECTOR (31 downto 0));
end top;
architecture Behavioral of top is
signal timing_in : std_logic_vector(23 downto 0);
begin
timing_in(2 downto 0) <= data(2 downto 0);
timing_in(5 downto 3) <= data(6 downto 4);
timing_in(8 downto 6) <= data(10 downto 8);
timing_in(11 downto 9) <= data(14 downto 12);
timing_in(14 downto 12) <= data(18 downto 16);
timing_in(17 downto 15) <= data(22 downto 20);
timing_in(20 downto 18) <= data(26 downto 24);
timing_in(23 downto 21) <= data(30 downto 28);
PROCESS(clk, rst)
BEGIN
IF rst = '1' then
output <= (others => '0');
ELSIF (clk'EVENT AND clk = '1') THEN
IF(we_n = '0') THEN
output <= timing_in;
END IF;
END IF;
END PROCESS;
end Behavioral;
What can I do to avoid warnings that the input signal data(3),
data(7) ... is not used?
Of cours I can split the bus in elements in the entity but I do not
like this solution.
If there Is a known discussion about this issue? Then a link would be
helpful.
Thanks for your help.
