Hello,
I'm quite new to VHDL. I need to write VHDL code for a vending machine
as part of my assignment.

I get the following errors.
# Error: ELBWRITE_0028: vendingMachine.vhd : (199, 0):
Signal "Number_Of_Cans" has two sources, but is not
resolved signal (at line 199: Number_Of_Cans & at line
46: Number_Of_Cans).
# Error: ELBWRITE_0028: vendingMachine.vhd : (200, 0):
Signal "Next_State" has two sources, but is not
resolved signal (at line 200: Next_State & at line 58:
Next_State).
# Error: ELBWRITE_0028: vendingMachine.vhd : (241, 0):
Signal "Number_Of_Bottles" has two sources, but is not
resolved signal (at line 241: Number_Of_Bottles & at
line 45: Number_Of_Bottles).

Can someone please throw some light on these errors & any other
comments on the following code is greatly appreciated.

You cannot schedule values to a signal (i.e. Number_Of_Cans) in more than
one process. You need to put all the logic involved in determining the
value of Number_Of_Cans in a single process.

Forget about resolved signals. Those are for busses and that is not what
you need here.

You have two processes, Next_State_Control and Output_Control, both of
which modify, for example, Number_Of_Cans. The compiler can't tell
which signal source you really mean to use. I think you would do well
to let Output_Control be in charge of modifying Number_Of_Cans and that
will eliminate the conflict. Likewise for the other signals with
multiple sources. I haven't checked carefully, but for all I know there
may be other sources for these signals, too, aside from the two I
spotted quite readily.

You write to the signal "Number_Of_Cans" from more than one process.
Normally this should be avoided.

An exception are tri-state busses, but as you said you are a newbie:
forget this for a while.

Thanks Folks,
I merged the two processes. It compiles fine now.

Thanks
Raju
