Another beginners question

Hi Don,

The difference between <= and => is really just "syntax". For example, it gets used to separate the case-statement entries from their conditions. It could have just has easily been :.

Another place you will see it used is in assignments, eg., to initialize a std_logic_vector to all zeros you can use ...

signal q_out : std_logic_vector(3 downto 0) := (others => '0');

I had told my wife that judging from your user name, you are at Caltech, She said as you have already answered my last mail you must be up quite early,

Are you not about 8 hours behind us ?

Yeah, I'm in Pasadena, CA. I check the forum when I get up (7am or so) and then again later in the evening (after 9pm).

That gives you long enough to think about the problem/errors you encounter, and take a shot at solving them yourself :)

Cheers,

Dave
