ID for each module from the for generate

[Altera_Forum]

Hello guys, 

 I instantiate a bunch of the same module with a for generate statement.  I dont know how to store the hcu_id of the module( I need it in an another part of the system); with ID I mean the  variable i of the for generate. I would need something like a constant input equal to the i variable of the for generate.  Any ideas?? Thanks

not quite sure I get the problem? it would be easy to pass in the loop value into a signal of the instatiation inside the generate, giving each instance access to it's ID number. 

 Why not post some code so we have a better idea of what you are trying to do.

Ok this is the top entity. I instantiate this module like this:  

g_upd_req_conn : FOR i IN 0 TO MAX_H_TILES - 1 GENERATE  u_upd_req_conn : ENTITY work.upd_req_conn(beh)  PORT MAP(  rst_n => rst_n,  clk => clk,  ID => ???  );  END GENERATE g_upd_req_conn; I need to give an ID to each module equal to the variable i, like a constant input. Any ideas?
