[Floating Point Number declaration in VHDL package File]

[whizkid123]

Hi all,

I have assigned floating point number in my VHDL package errors and spyglass is flagging a warning


Use of FLOATING point type is not supported .


Can anybody know, is this a potential warning/Error which needs to be fixed?

Well RTL code only knows bit/std logic signals, floating point is an abstraction, coded in your std_logic_vector.
Floating is only usable with REAL type in VHDL, and this is not synthesisable, only for test purpose.
