cannot understand error

[Uzmeed]

hi 

 

I have written the following code for register transfer logic

#include "systemc.h"
#include "UART_tx.h"

void UART_tx :: Register_Transfer()
{
    bool reset;
    int XMT_shft;
    int bit_count;

    //int word_size=8;
    bool load_XMT_shftreg;
    int clear;
    int shift;
    int start;
    sc_int<9> XMT_shftreg;

    if(reset==false){
        XMT_shft=all_ones;
        bit_count=0;
    }

    else
    if(load_XMT_datareg==1)
        XMT_datareg=data_bus;
    if(load_XMT_shftreg==1)
        XMT_shftreg=(XMT_datareg,1);
    if(start==1)
        XMT_shftreg[0]=0;
    if(clear==1)
        bit_count=0;
    else if (shift==1){
        bit_count=bit_count+1;
        XMT_shftreg=(1,XMT_shftreg.range(8,1));
    }

}
 

 

and getting the following error while synthesis

Pretty much impossible to know exactly what the problem is without the rest of the context. How and were are XMT_datareg and databus defined?

[Roman Popov]

Looks like the error is inside Xilinx libraries internals. I suggest you should ask on Xilinx forums.

Hi David

 

All my code is attached

main.cpp

Output_n_nextstate.cpp

Register_Transfer.cpp

State_Transition.cpp

UART_tx.h

Hi. 

Seems as if the compiler is confused by too many implicit casts.

Could you try explicit read:

XMT_datareg=data_bus.read();

Should save one implicit conversion and might help. Actual root cause could be in the _ap_sc stuff (synthesizer internals?).

Thanks Ralph

It worked

After making some changes now i am getting the following error

Hi.

I guess it is the same as before. The implicit conversion from a signal to the type of the inner value is not supported correctly by the HLS library you are using. 

The following should help again:

 

T v = v2.read();

Thanks Ralph 

Can you please guide me that how can I convert the sc_fifo signal to simple bus( i know that is not the topic)
