Honored ContributorImplementation of VHDL program on FPGA
Hello,
I try to implement a simple vhdl program " if the switch button is ON then the led has to be ON" on FPGA using Quartus but it doesn't work means the switch is ON but the led is still OFF. however, when i implement a block diagram using quartus on FPGA it works !!!. Is there an option which have to be activated on the tools? how can i solve the problem ? Many thanks8 Replies
Altera_ForumIts probably an issue in the code/project
why not post the code/project?- Altera_Forum
Here is the code :
library ieee; use ieee.std_logic_1164.all; use IEEE.STD_LOGIC_ARITH.ALL; use IEEE.STD_LOGIC_UNSIGNED.ALL; entity TEST is port ( bouton: in std_logic; led0: out std_logic ; led1: out std_logic ; led2: out std_logic ; led3: out std_logic ); end TEST; architecture behavior of TEST is begin process (bouton) begin if bouton = '1' then led0 <= '0'; led1 <= '1'; led2 <= '1'; led3 <= '1'; nd if; end process; end behavior; - Altera_Forum
You forgot the else to change the state of the leds when the button is in the off state.

Even with the else it doesnt work.. :(.is there an option which has to be activated on quartus to indicate the type of the transfered program to fpga ?
- Altera_Forum
have you included the code in the project? have you got a correct pinout?
is the code even correct - why not post it rather than just say "it doesnt work". - Altera_Forum
yes i have the correct pinout.
library ieee; use ieee.std_logic_1164.all; use IEEE.STD_LOGIC_ARITH.ALL; use IEEE.STD_LOGIC_UNSIGNED.ALL; entity TEST is port ( bouton: in std_logic; led0: out std_logic ; led1: out std_logic ; led2: out std_logic ; led3: out std_logic ); end TEST; architecture behavior of TEST is begin process (bouton) begin if bouton = '1' then led0 <= '0'; led1 <= '1'; led2 <= '1'; led3 <= '1'; else led0 <= '1'; led1 <= '0'; led2 <= '0'; led3 <= '0'; end if; end process; end behavior; - Altera_Forum
Hi berkoka,
I would suggest that you run a functional simulation with Modelsim with your codes prior to hardware testing. With this, we can be sure if the codes are working and isolate functional related issue prior to hardware debugging.

I will try it. Thank you bfkstimchan
