Problem in design

Hello there!
I want to read a memory containing 4096 words(altsyncram named R,G,B.
used a MIF file to store the data) and convert them to YUV. I have
checked yuv conversion. It works. But in Quartus the Analysis and
Synthesis hangs at 10%. I will be happy if anybody helps me out.

Deepa,
Shared variables are not synthesizable.Functions
INT2SLVECT,SLVECT2INT are not visible. The code is more of like C prog
code. Statements in the procees construct seem to be hardware
intensive. Better consult who knows RTL coding in your office/college.
Cheers,
Raghavendra.

There is as such nothing wrong with your code except that it is very
unwieldy. You have got a huge array and a lot of conversion in loops.
So it is going to take plenty of time or if not enough memory it will
hang. But I dont see the need for shared variables.

Neo

Thanks for your replies. I have another doubt. I can't see the value of
variables using quartus II. I have stored the YUV values in the RAM
itself. So will the mif file be updated by those values? How can I see
the RAM data after the simulation?
