Hi,
I have been trying to create a VHDL file for block diagram. The project compiles without problems, but when trying to create a HDL file for current file it shows an error. Hence I cannot progress further since I can't create symbol form file either. http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=11953&stc=1 Here is the screenshot of my file with errors. Could someone help me please? Thank you Tom- Tags:

The screenshot is too small to be readable. But do your signal names all meet VHDL requirements:
ie. must start with a letter. Can only contain alpha numeric characters and underscore (a-z, 0-9, _). VHDL is also case insensitive, so have you got any duplicate names through different cases. eg. nCS and ncs (same name in VHDL).- Mark as New

The error message I get is: "Name "OF" contains VHDL keyword". I used symbol from quartus library BCD to 7 Segment (7447) and I would expect it to work and produce the VHDL file when prompted. Thank you Tom

The 74 series logic devices are very old and have named pins. They were probably never meant to be used with HDL.
