Mismatched Nodes

I am designing a 4 bit ripple adder using input and output buses. They are named A[3..0],B[3..0] and Sum[3..0]. When I try to simulate the circuit though I get these errors:

Warning: Wrong node type and/or width for node "|AdderRipple|A" in vector source file. Node in design is of type Bus and of width 4, but node in vector source file is of type 9-Level and of width 1.

Error: Can't simulate mismatched node types

Warning: Wrong node type and/or width for node "|AdderRipple|B" in vector source file. Node in design is of type Bus and of width 4, but node in vector source file is of type 9-Level and of width 1.

Error: Can't simulate mismatched node types

Warning: Wrong node type and/or width for node "|AdderRipple|Sum" in vector source file. Node in design is of type Bus and of width 4, but node in vector source file is of type 9-Level and of width 1.

Error: Can't simulate mismatched node types

Error: Quartus II Simulator was unsuccessful. 3 errors, 3 warnings

What am I doing wrong here?

    Hi,

    how did you define your inputs in the vector file ? I assume you have a small test project.

    Can you post it in the forum ?

    Kind regards

    Sure, here is my project:

    AdderXOR is the full adder, and AdderRipple is the four bit ripple adder.

    Hi,

    I could not get access to your project. Can you please generate a zip-File of your project and post it directly in the forum ?

    Kind regards

    I didn't know that this forum let you add attachments. So I've attached the zip file to this post.

    Thanks :)

    Hi,

    I look into your project and found that you have specified your input signal A and B with the width of 1. You can change the setting by opening your .vwf, select e.g input A, right

    mouse click , properties and change bus width to 4. This should solve your probem.

    Kind regards

    Hi,

    What a kind man you are!

    My project have the same question,Can you help me?

    Thank you

    below is my vhdl source file:

    library ieee;

    use ieee.std_logic_1164.all;

    entity yinliaoji is

    Y: out std_logic;

    Z: out std_logic;

    Q: buffer std_logic_vector(1 downto 0)

    );

    end yinliaoji;

    architecture behave of yinliaoji is

    begin

    process(A,B,Q)

    begin

    if Q="00" and A='0' and B='0'then Q<="00";Y<='0';Z<='0';

    Hi,

    only o be sure, you have also a problem with a vwf-file for simulation ?

    Kind regards

    Hi

    I'am sorry can't reply you in time because I had classes this afertnoon.After checked the question my teacher ordered,I have solve the problem by redesign the program.Thank you.

    Good night.

    After you click simulate button, you will face above errors, then open the Simulation Report window (in this case it will be automatically opened). You will see there are nodes only with width 1, in those nodes go to properties and change the bus width to 4 in your case. I should say this bus width should be adjusted in the simulation report window, not in the *.vwf window.
