These do not exist internally on a FPGA, but do exist on output pins. --- Quote End --- Thank you very much Tricky. You just explained a "multiple driver" error I have been getting and had no idea what I was doing. Thank you for that. I am still a little confused about multiple mapping. Could you tell me what would happen if I do this multiple mapping the other way. For example,
ARCHITECTURE arch of ent IS
....
signal CLK: STD_LOGIC;
....
BEGIN
component1: ENTITY work.LED_FLASHER
PORT MAP (
LEDCLK => CLK );
...
...
component2: ENTITY work.LED_FLASHER
PORT MAP (
LEDCLK => CLK );
...
END ARCHITECTURE arch
What would happen in this case if I do multiple mappings to a component port? Thank you very much for all the input. Cheers.
