Error as: "Wrong index type for x","Wrong index type for temp".

[ashwini012]

hello,

I want to write the equation ,

x(i)=a*temp(i)
for i ranges from 0 to 5

I tried to write in vhdl but i got the error:[B] "Wrong index type for x","Wrong index type for temp".

PROCESS(CLK)
VARIABLE i : INTEGER RANGE 0 TO 5;
BEGIN

x(i) <= a * temp(i);

END PROCESS;

Is this write way to writw equation?
Help me....

Thank you!

Re: Error as: "Wrong index type for x","Wrong index type for temp".

Are you trying to implement the parallel code:

x(0) = a * temp(0);
x(1) = a * temp(1);
...
x(5) = a * temp(5);

or are your trying to iterate over a sequence of i = 0, i = 1, ... , i = 4, i = 5?

If you are trying to iterate then you must use a counter not any kind of looping structure (e.g. for). And you likely don't need to index, just run a pipeline.

You also don't tell us how x is defined, but it should be an array of some type, given the multiplication either a signed or unsigned array. Both a and temp should also be defined as signed or unsigned arrays.
