Hi everybody, i'm quite new to vhdl and hardware implementation and i have a problem.
I have to implement a weighted average (weights are not constant) with integer fixed-point numbers. The problem is that the sum of the weights (the divisor in the average) is not always a power of 2, so how i can perform that division WITHOUT use any ipcore divider?
The approximation of the divisor to the nearest power of 2 is not always a good choiche because the result could be not accurated enough.
Thank you in advance

ps: i use xilinx ise 13.2

This site will explain all about the topic and even generate VHDL source code:
