encryption - if 中的 VHDL 条件必须是静态的，并且 if 语句中的组件实例化

Question

我正在实现一个由 8 轮组成的分组密码(SQUARE)(见下文)。密码必须允许两种操作模式:加密和解密(在代码中表示为 mode = 0 或 mode = 1)。

entity SQUARE is
Port ( mode : in  STD_LOGIC;
       squarein : in  STD_LOGIC_VECTOR (127 downto 0);
       key : in  STD_LOGIC_VECTOR (127 downto 0);
       squareout : out  STD_LOGIC_VECTOR (127 downto 0) 
     );
end SQUARE;

enc : if (mode = '0') generate -- do encryption
   s0 : preround port map(squarein, key, con0, key1, rin1);
   s1 : round port map(rin1, key1, con1, key2, rin2);
   s2 : round port map(rin2, key2, con2, key3, rin3);
   s3 : round port map(rin3, key3, con3, key4, rin4);
   s4 : round port map(rin4, key4, con4, key5, rin5);
   s5 : round port map(rin5, key5, con5, key6, rin6);
   s6 : round port map(rin6, key6, con6, key7, rin7);
   s7 : round port map(rin7, key7, con7, key8, rin8);
   s8 : lastround port map(rin8, key8, squareout);
end generate;

dec : if (mode = '1') generate -- do decryption
   i8 : invround port map(squarein, key8, con7, invkey7, invrin7);
   i7 : invround port map(invrin7, invkey7, con6, invkey6, invrin6);
   i6 : invround port map(invrin6, invkey6, con5, invkey5, invrin5);
   i5 : invround port map(invrin5, invkey5, con4, invkey4, invrin4);
   i4 : invround port map(invrin4, invkey4, con3, invkey3, invrin3);
   i3 : invround port map(invrin3, invkey3, con2, invkey2, invrin2);
   i2 : invround port map(invrin2, invkey2, con1, invkey1, invrin1);
   i1 : invround port map(invrin1, invkey1, con0, invkey0, invrin0);
   i0 : invpreround port map(invrin0, invkey0, squareout);
end generate;

问题:编译成功但有警告(IF GENERATE 中的条件必须是静态的)。我怎么能避免这个警告？也许以其他方式重写代码..

正如 Paebbels 所说，generate不能动态使用。它需要在编译/合成时保持不变。您可以做的是改用泛型(使用 VHDL-2008 if-else 生成构造):

entity SQUARE is
    generic(mode : std_logic);
    Port ( squarein : in  STD_LOGIC_VECTOR (127 downto 0);
           key : in  STD_LOGIC_VECTOR (127 downto 0);
           squareout : out  STD_LOGIC_VECTOR (127 downto 0) 
    );
end entity;

architecture structural or SQUARE is
begin
    enc : if (mode = '0') generate -- do encryption
        s0 : entity work.preround port map(squarein, key, con0, key1, rin1);
        [...]
    else generate
       -- decrypt
       i8 : entity work.invround port map(squarein, key8, con7, invkey7, invrin7);
       [...]
    end generate;
end architecture;

如果要动态更改操作模式，则需要生成所有组件，并使用多路复用器选择输出:

entity SQUARE is
    Port ( mode : in std_logic;
           squarein : in  STD_LOGIC_VECTOR (127 downto 0);
           key : in  STD_LOGIC_VECTOR (127 downto 0);
           squareout : out  STD_LOGIC_VECTOR (127 downto 0) 
    );
end entity;

architecture structural or SQUARE is
begin
    -- encrypt components
    s0 : entity work.preround port map(squarein, key, con0, key1, rin1);
    [...]
    s8 : entity work.lastround port map(rin8, key8, squareout_enc);
    -- decrypt components
    i8 : entity work.invround port map(squarein, key8, con7, invkey7, invrin7);
    [...]
    i0 : entity work.invpreround port map(invrin0, invkey0, squareout_dec);
    -- connect outputs
    squareout <= squareout_enc when mode='0' else squareout_dec;
end architecture;
