Hi,

I don't understand why the following code doesn't work, can you enlighten me ?


freq_authorization : process(clk)
begin
    if rising_edge(clk) then
        
        if ((unsigned(freq) >= "00001100" ) and (unsigned(freq) <= "00111101" )) then --compare if freq entry is between 12 and 59
                
                allowed_freq <= '1';
            else 
                allowed_freq <= '0';
        end if;
    end if;
end process freq_authorization;

If it can help, modelsim is returning# ** Warning: NUMERIC_STD.">=": metavalue detected, returning FALSE when I run.

Thanks for your help.

EDIT : freq is in std_logic_vector(7 downto 0);

freq has not been initialized

What do you mean ? Freq is my entry port

Yes, have you set the value for Freq in your testbench? if it contains 'U' (uninitialised) or 'X' (unknown) then you get the warning you have.
