help for synthesis of code in xilinx

[kakarala]

Hi

i am writing a vhdl code for video encoder, i have few questions regarding the synthesis of code
can we use for loops in the code and synthesise code,
can we do processing of images as integer values and synthesis,
can we write a process statement inside a process statement
can we give inputs to the component as integer and synthesize it
can we synthesise the functions in xilinx

answers to the questions:

1. Yes. But remember that for loops unroll into parallel hardware.
2. Yes
3. No. A process describes a peice of hardware
4. Yes
5. Yes (assuming you mean code, because VHDL has functions aswell as processes)
