Array as input/output how?

[myggel]

Hi there,

i'd like to store my values in an array in one component and give this array to another component.
to store the values works pretty well. but i don't know how to declare a port for an array.
i wrote this:

type array_for_pixels is array (integer range 63 downto 0) of bit_vector(13 downto 0);
signal pixel_array: array_for_pixels;

then i store some stuff in "pixel_array" and would like to use this in another component.

does anyone know how this will work?

thanks!

Hi Myggel,

Just declare your port with your custom type:

portname : in array_for_pixels;



Hope this helps!

If this doesn't work you will have to pass the array one bit_vector at a time, meaning you have 63 ports of bit_vector(13 downto 0), UUuuuups 64 ..
Bye
