to_stdlogicvector ERROR

Hey,

I have a unsigned to std_logic_vector conversion and I get the
following error:

"to_stdLogicVector can not have such operands in this context."

I'm using Xilinx EDK 8.1

Here is some of my code to explain where the errror occurs.

library ieee;
use ieee.std_logic_1164.all;
use ieee.numeric_std.all;

M_ABus : out std_logic_vector(0 to 31);


signal row_cnt : unsigned(0 to 9);
signal row_cnt_en : std_logic;
signal row_rst : std_logic;


addr_counter : process(PLB_Clk, PLB_Rst)
begin
if PLB_Clk'event and PLB_Clk = '1' then
if row_cnt_en = '1' then
row_cnt <= row_cnt + 1;
end if;
end if;
if (PLB_RST or row_rst) = '1' then
row_cnt <= (others => '0'); -- 768-1
end if;
end process;

M_ABus(11 to 20) <= to_stdLogicVector(row_cnt); -- the error
occurs in this line.

Hope someone can help me with this.

Sebastian

The function To_StdLogicVector() is defined for BIT_VECTOR, and
STD_ULOGIC_VECTOR only. But you're passing it an UNSIGNED. Even
though STD_UNLOGIC_VECTOR smells kind of like an UNSIGNED, it's a
different type. However, the element types of std_logic_vector and
unsigned are both std_logic though, so you could just pass them
element by element:

for i in 11 to 20 generate
m_ABus(i) <= row_cnt(i-11);
end generate;

I might be missing some obvious library conversion function, on the
other hand

M_ABus(11 to 20) <= std_logic_vector(row_cnt);

Thanks KJ that works

To_stdlogicvector is defined in ieee.numeric_std.all as

function TO_STDLOGICVECTOR ( ARG: UNSIGNED) return STD_LOGIC_VECTOR;
-- Result subtype: STD_LOGIC_VECTOR, same range as input ARG
-- Result: Converts UNSIGNED to STD_LOGIC_VECTOR.

You might want to check your source that you got numeric_std from.
The to_stdlogicvector type conversion function was removed from the
final version of the IEEE standard in 1993.

OK, I'll embarrass myself publicly and ask where (in what version,
from what web documentation, etc) that's defined. I was admittedly
looking at a very old numeric_std, but I still don't see it in the
200x packages at vhdl.org nor in my (admittedly old) tool copies.

And what am I missing here? If that function really is defined and is
visible as stated, then why doesn't the OP's code work?

I'm feeling like I'm starting to imagine things here...

Sorry, but is not defined the function TO_STDLOGICVECTOR in the Std_Logic_1164 package?
