I really need some help, Im in college taking a digital logic course.

Our final project is a digital counter that counts up to 60, using a mod 6 and mod 10 counter.

the problem i am having is coding a 25 bit frequency divider, im not very good at coding in VHDL, but if someone could help me out it would be seriously appreciated.

i spent like 5 hours working on this thing using a 25 bit johnson counter, but I just couldnt figure out how to get it to divide a frequency.

help appreciated.

Default Re: VHDL help, frequency Division
How would this work? does this successfully divide the 25 hz frequency from an ALTERA board to 1 hz??

Thanks for your response, but this problem should be fairly simple, I mean we never really went over VHDL and now we're expected to code somethign in the language, so I dont think it should be in our realm of reach, but jesus i am having so much trouble as well as my class mates.


help appreciated.




Library IEEE;
use IEEE.std_logic_1164.all;

entity Divider is
port (
CLK: in STD_LOGIC;
COUT: out STD_LOGIC
);
end Divider;

architecture Divider of Divider is

constant TIMECONST : integer := 59; --temp at 1 or 2 for simulation purposes
signal count0, count1, count2, count3: integer range 0 to 1000 := 0;
signal D: STD_LOGIC := '0';

begin
process (CLK)
begin
if (CLK'event and CLK = '1') then
count0 <= count0 + 1;
if (count0 = TIMECONST) then
count0 <= 0;
count1 <= count1 + 1;
elsif (count1 = TIMECONST) then
count1 <= 0;
count2 <= count2 + 1;
elsif (count2 = TIMECONST) then
count2 <= 0;
count3 <= count3 + 1;
elsif (count3 = TIMECONST) then
count3 <= 0;
D <= not D;
end if;
end if;

COUT <= D;

end process;
end Divider;

does this little piece of code do what I need?
