11 years ago --- Quote Start --- xor, not, etc are reserved words, so you cannot call your components those names. I also think and2 is an altera primative, so you probably cant use that either. You need to call in the altera primitives library. --- Quote End --- How I can call Altera primitives library in VHDL? Or i can't use built-in primitives in VHDL code never altogether? --- Quote Start --- But why the aversion to using the and, xor etc functions? --- Quote End --- It is not adversion - it is only educational tasks. I read VHDL specification but I can't found information about using Altera Quartus II built-in primitives in VHDL code? --- But my VHDL code work in Xilinx ISE, because Xilins ISE has other names for built-in gates (see screenshot in attachment) and for gate-ports (I0,I1,O instead IN1,IN2,OUT).
