Foundation 2.1i, FPGA Express 3.2: Is it possible to infer signed arithmetic modules in VHDL or Verilog?



Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description:
Is it possible to infer signed arithmetic modules in VHDL or Verilog?


Solution 1:

For VHDL, signed modules can be inferred but currently it is not possible to infer both signed and unsigned operators in the same entity-architecture pair.

Please see the FPGA Express online help topic "Arithmetic and Relational Module Inference Examples" for examples and more information.



Solution 2:

Currently, it is not possible to infer signed modules in Verilog.
