generics depending on generics
 

Hi everyone

I have a question or maybe it's better to say: I got a problem.

I got a top-level entity with this generics:

length of bitstream, e.g. = 3
number of elements, e.g. = 4
data array , e.g. 000, 001, 110, 111

As you can see, the array's length and number of elements depend on the other generics. At top-level it is no problem, because you would write it down there. But I need to communicate this information to a lower entity... how can I do that ? I figured out, how to use an array type für the generic list, but this type now also depends on a generic.

Also at the lower-level entity I would need to write something like this :

signal <= '1' when inp = "000" or inp = "001" etc...

At this line I also have no clou how to write that with generics ;)

Thanks for any help
