Modelsim "Types do not match"

Altera_Forum · ‎05-12-2014

Hi, I've wrote VHDL code, and also a testbench. Its my first attempt writing testbench so go easy please. I think it's correct but Modelsim keeps giving errors; I have tried numerous times with no joy.

This is top level:


library ieee;
use ieee.std_logic_1164.all;
use ieee.numeric_std.all;
entity quarter_round is                      
        generic(l:integer:=9);
        port(y : in unsigned(127 downto 0);
        z : out unsigned( 127 downto 0)
        );
end quarter_round;
Architecture quarter_round_arch of quarter_round is
component rtleft is                                                 
        generic(l:integer);                                        
        port( a: in unsigned( 31 downto 0);
        b: out unsigned( 31 downto 0));
        end component;
        signal y0 : unsigned( 31 downto 0);                 
        signal y1 : unsigned( 31 downto 0);                   
        signal y2 : unsigned( 31 downto 0);
        signal y3 : unsigned( 31 downto 0);
        signal i1,i2,i3,i4 :unsigned( 31 downto 0);
        signal j1,j2,j3,j4 :unsigned( 31 downto 0);
        signal z0,z1,z2,z3 :unsigned( 31 downto 0);
begin                                                                    
        y0 <=y(127 downto 96);                                    
        y1 <=y(95 downto 64);                                    
        y2 <=y(63 downto 32);
        y3 <=y(31 downto 0);
        i1<=y0+y3;
        r1:rtleft generic map(7) port map(i1,j1);          
        z1<=j1 xor y1;                                              
        i2<=z1+y0;
        r2:rtleft generic map(9) port map(i2,j2); 
        z2<=j2 xor y2;
        i3<=z2+z1;
        r3:rtleft generic map(13) port map(i3,j3);
        z3<=j3 xor y3;
        i4<=z3+z2;
        r4:rtleft generic map(18) port map(i4,j4);
        z0<=j4 xor y0;
             z<=z0&z1&z2&z3;
end quarter_round_arch;

Component 'rtleft' :


library ieee;
use ieee.std_logic_1164.all;
use ieee.numeric_std.all;
  entity rtleft is
        generic (l:integer:=7);
        port( a: in unsigned( 31 downto 0);
        b: out unsigned( 31 downto 0));
  end rtleft;
  architecture dataflow of rtleft is
        begin
        b<=a(31-l downto 0)& a(31 downto 31-l+1);
end dataflow;

And the failing testbench:


LIBRARY ieee;                                             
USE ieee.std_logic_1164.all;                                
USE ieee.numeric_std.all;
ENTITY quarter_round_vhd_tst IS
END quarter_round_vhd_tst;
ARCHITECTURE test of quarter_round_vhd_tst IS
COMPONENT quarter_round
    PORT (
    y : IN STD_LOGIC_VECTOR(127 DOWNTO 0);
    z : OUT STD_LOGIC_VECTOR(127 DOWNTO 0)
    );
END COMPONENT;
        
SIGNAL clk : bit := '0';
SIGNAL reset : bit := '0';                                       
SIGNAL y : STD_LOGIC_VECTOR(127 DOWNTO 0);
SIGNAL z : STD_LOGIC_VECTOR(127 DOWNTO 0);                                   
BEGIN
    DUT : quarter_round
        PORT MAP (
        y => y,
        z => z
        );
    y  <= x"201f1e1d1c1b1a191817161514131211"; 
PROCESS
    BEGIN
    
    clk <= '0' ;
    wait for 10 ns;
    z <= y ;
    clk <= '1';
    wait for 10 ns;
    END PROCESS;
END test;

The error in modelsim " Types do not match between component and entity for port "y".

Again, I think the testbench is correct. Looking to input a 128 bit value for y and view the result (of z) on the wave.

Thanks

hi.

In entity quarter_round you declared port y as unsigned. When you declared the component in the testbench, you declared the port as std_logic_vector. Usually the entity ports are of type std_logic or std_logic_vector.

Hi,

thanks for your reply. I edited the entity quarterround and Modelsim allows me to simulate. I changed all to unsigned

It compiles in Modelsim by no output for z.

Altera_Forum · ‎05-12-2014

What is ModelSim showing? Is z in 'U' state?

I have made progress, output still incorrect though....

Altera_Forum · ‎05-13-2014

Please, post the entire quartus project ( zipped ). May be I give a better answer.

Altera_Forum · ‎05-13-2014

Thanks, thats it.

The modelsim tb file is .vht, in simulation.

Altera_Forum · ‎05-13-2014

Nothing like a good testbench...

Thanks! I'll try it out now
