Easiest Testbench for my VHDL code (multiplication)

[Altera_Forum]

Hello there. Is there somebody who can make testbench from my vhdl code? It is multiplication of 2 integers, which are n-1 downto 0.. n=16. Thanks a lot..  

library IEEE;use IEEE.STD_LOGIC_1164.ALL; use IEEE.numeric_std.ALL; entity MultExample is Generic ( n : natural := 16); Port (A,B : in std_logic_vector(n-1 downto 0); Q : out std_logic_vector(n*2-1 downto 0); end MultExample; architecture Behavioral of MultExample is BEGIN Q <= std_logic_vector(signed(A) * signed(B)); end architecture Behavioral;

Thanks a lot for these files.. But i don't know what to write to UUT.. It is empty and i need to put values there.

Just use mult module with inputs initialised to values of your choice and check output on waveform. option 2: write testbench as counting sequences to drive the inputs. option 3: don't do anything and trust the mult as we do. once your project is mature you can testbench your whole project

I need testbench.. It is school homework but i don't know how to edit it.

Hi 

 Have you tried option 1??  Learn to write test-bench google it. http://eng.umb.edu/~cuckov/classes/engin341/lectures/l02%20-%20vhdl%20-%20dataflow%20and%20structural%20modeling%20and%20testbenches.pdf  --ONE OF THE WAY OF WRITING TB IS SHOWN YOU CAN USE LOOPS TO TEST ALL THE CASE stimulus: process begin a<="0101"; b<="0101"; wait for 20ns; a<="1111"; b<="1111"; wait; end process;   Best Regards, Anand Raj Shankar (This message was posted on behalf of Intel Corporation)

for strings (like arrays) you should be using double quotes, not single quotes. 

Also, with your asserts, you are not reporting, so I doubt you will get a meaningful message.

Thanks for help. One more problem: 

# ** Fatal: (vsim-3420) Array lengths do not match. Left is 4 (3 downto 0). Right is 2 (3 downto 2). # Time: 0 ps Iteration: 0 Process: /nasobenie_tb/stimulus File: D:/altera/13.0sp1/nasobenie/nasobenie_tb.vhd # Fatal error in Process stimulus at D:/altera/13.0sp1/nasobenie/nasobenie_tb.vhd line 41 # # HDL call sequence: # Stopped at D:/altera/13.0sp1/nasobenie/nasobenie_tb.vhd 41 Process stimulus #  I don't know how to fix that.. I am using 4 downto 2 is it bad? I have 2 bits and after multiplication i got 4 bits or I am wrong? Thanks.

[Altera_Forum]

I think the error is fairly self explanitory. 

wherever the error is, the widths do not match. The left side requires 4 bits, but you're only assigning 2

[Altera_Forum]

It is multiplication.. When i multiply 2 bits and 2 bits number, result is 4 bits or i am wrong?  

How to solve it? Any solution? Can you tell me which one change and to what value..

[Altera_Forum]

Yes, multiplying 2 bit numbers gives a 4 bit result. 

The error you posted is not in the code you posted, so I have no idea how to fix it.

[Altera_Forum]

I will try to send there both codes..

The error you have posted doesnt appear to be for this code. 

I suggest deleting the configuration from the code.
