Help for counter programme

[Altera_Forum]

Design a 4-bit up/down counter with synchronous counting and asynchronous master reset. Write a VHDL design description of the counter based on the following criteria: 

a) The counter increments or decrements on a negative clock edge only if its active-LOW enable   b) The master reset (MR) is an active-HIGH input that resets the counter to 0000 state.  c) The count outputs are Q3Q2Q1Q0 where Q0 is the LSB and Q3 is the MSB.  d) For up counting, a LOW at the UP_DW input. A HIGH at UP_DW input causes the counter to decrement.

The people are not here to make the homework of students. 

If you have a problem with a specific part, explain what you did and where you are blocked.

so far i have this but i am not sure if i am doing the right thing. 

  library ieee; use ieee.std_logic_1164.all; use ieee.numeric_std.all;  entity mini is port ( en, m_reset, updown, clk : in std_logic; q : out std_logic_vector (3 downto 0)); end mini;  architecture flow of mini is signal mini :unsigned (3 downto 0);  begin process ( en, m_reset, updown, clk ) begin if (en = '1' and m_reset = '1')  then  q <= "0000");  elsif(en = '0' and m_reset = '1')  then  q <= "0000");

the enable has to be inside the clk edge detect for it to work properly.

i don't get what u mean by enable has to be inside clk edge

currently, you have set a reset whenever m_reset = '1', you have 2 if branches with enable in them, one for when enable is '1' and one when en is '0'. These branches are actually the same thing as the only important signal is m_reset = '1'. 

 as for the clock, you want the following code:   elsif rising_edge(clk) then if en = '1' then --check count direction and count end if; end if;

this is what i have so far .  

 library ieee; use ieee.std_logic_1164.all; use ieee.numeric_std.all;  entity mini is port ( en, m_reset, UP_DW, clk : in std_logic; q : out std_logic_vector (3 downto 0)); end mini;  architecture flow of mini is signal count_sig :unsigned (3 downto 0);  begin process ( en, m_reset, UP_DW, clk ) begin if (en = '1' and m_reset = '1')  then  count_sig <= "0000";  elsif(en = '0' and m_reset = '1')  then  count_sig <="0000";  elsif falling_edge (clk) and UP_DW = '0' then   count_sig <= count_sig +1;  elsif falling_edge (clk) and UP_DW = '1' then count_sig <= count_sig -1;  end if;  end process;  q <= std_logic_vector (count_sig); end flow;   how to make the altera board show hex from " A to F " ??
