4 Bit Adder using port maps

[TheCholo]

Hey guys I am having an issue with this 4 bit adder. I was told to include my Adder1.vhd file into the folder for my Adder4 project. Whenever I try to compile my code (I think its right) I am getting an error saying:

Error (10430): VHDL Primary Unit Declaration error at adder1.vhd(3): primary unit "Adder1Vhd" already exists in library "work"

Any help with this would be much appreciated :grin:

Here is the Adder4.vhd:

LIBRARY IEEE; 
USE IEEE.STD_LOGIC_1164.ALL; 
ENTITY Adder4 IS
GENERIC(CONSTANT N: INTEGER := 4);
PORT(
a, b: IN STD_LOGIC_VECTOR(N-1 DOWNTO 0); -- Input SW[7..4]: a[3..0] inputs,
-- SW[3..0]: b[3..0]
cIn: in std_logic;
sum: OUT STD_LOGIC_VECTOR(N-1 DOWNTO 0); -- Output LEDR[3..0]
cOut: OUT STD_LOGIC -- Output LEDR[4]
);
END Adder4;
ARCHITECTURE imp OF Adder4 IS
COMPONENT Adder1 
PORT(
a, b, cIn : in STD_LOGIC;
sum, cOut : out STD_LOGIC);
END COMPONENT;
SIGNAL carry_sig: std_logic_vector(N-1 DOWNTO 0);
BEGIN
--What to put here?  I know it must include port maps
A1: Adder1 port map (a(0), b(0), cIn, sum(0), carry_sig(0));
A2: Adder1 port map (a(1), b(1), carry_sig(0), sum(1), carry_sig(1));
A3: Adder1 port map (a(2), b(2), carry_sig(1), sum(2), carry_sig(2));
A4: Adder1 port map (a(3), b(3), carry_sig(2), sum(3), cOut);

END imp;

Here is the Adder1.vhd file that is included in the project folder:

library ieee; 
use ieee.std_logic_1164.all; 
entity Adder1Vhd is 
 port( 
 a, b, cIn : in std_logic; 
 sum, cOut : out std_logic);
end Adder1Vhd; 
architecture imp of Adder1Vhd is 
begin 
 -- Add two lines (one for sum and the other for cOut) of VHDL code here
 sum <= (a xor b) xor cIn;
 cOut <= (a and b) or (cIn and (a xor b));
end imp;

You've got a component named "Adder1Vhd", but you're declaring a component named "Adder1". Where is Adder1's entity? You need to use the ENTITY name not the FILE name in your component declaration. In other words:

Component Adder1Vhd...

But the error you're getting indicates some other problem...

THe error implies you've got two different files that use the same entity name.
