usually this error happens when the component has a generic clause:
entity blablabla... generic( width := 8 ) -- default value port( ... Please, post the code better understanding of the error. - Altera_Forum

Thanks for your kindly reply.
But the "write" is a 1-bit port! this port doesn't have any parameter defination in the design! As the design shows bellow: component syncram generic (tech : integer := 0; abits : integer := 6; dbits : integer := 8; testen : integer := 0); port ( clk : in std_ulogic; address : in std_logic_vector((abits -1) downto 0); datain : in std_logic_vector((dbits -1) downto 0); dataout : out std_logic_vector((dbits -1) downto 0); enable : in std_ulogic; write : in std_ulogic; testin : in std_logic_vector(TESTIN_WIDTH-1 downto 0) := testin_none); end component; - Altera_Forum

When you instantiate the component. Did you connect that port to any signal?
In same line of code you have. toto_unit : syncram.... port map(.... write => some_signal, -- did you place this connection? - Altera_Forum
Honored Contributor
yes, they are some others signals need to be assign by the write.
For example: xwrite <= write; Does this cause the error? - Altera_Forum

The kind of error suggest that you omitted to connect the input "write" to the circuit. Can you post the code where u instantiated the component?

It sounds like you forgot to connect the write port. All ports of mode in must be connected to something, even if it is '0' or '1'. They cannot be left open.
