How can I divide a bit vector in VHDL by another one? The divider is not a power of 2.( if it was a simple shift operation would do the job) For exaple divide 1010110 with 011.

Hi,
Most of the synthesis tools (if not all) expect the divisor to be a power of 2, so that the division can be done by merely shifting the dividend right. The synthesis companies do provide IP-components which support division of any value by an valued-divisor. These are done by using various algorithmns.
In case you still want the code to support full division, then there is no other way than to code it yourself by using algorithmn such as RESTORING and NON-RESTORING methods of division.
