Description
To instantiate a VHDL module inside a Verilog design, make sure the two files are in the same directory and that they have been added to the project for compilation. Next, simply instantiate the lower level VHDL design by name in the Verilog file.
The following is an example of a top-level Verilog file called top_ver.v that instantiates a lower-level VHDL file called bottom_vhdl.vhd:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
module top_ver (p, q, out);
input q, p;
output out;
bottom_vhdl u1 (.a(q), .b(p), .c(out));
endmodule
VHDL file (bottom_vhdl.vhd)
LIBRARY ieee;
USE ieee.std_logic_1164.ALL;
ENTITY bottom_vhdl IS
PORT (a, b : IN std_logic;
c : OUT std_logic);
END bottom_vhdl;
ARCHITECTURE a OF bottom_vhdl IS
BEGIN
Process (a, b)
BEGIN
c
