a small clarification please

[naren]

hello friends good morning. I am using Xilinxs Spartan 3 board which
developed by ADM company. I am using webpack ISE 9.1i, in that i
wrote a code for seven segment display.
The code looks like this

library IEEE;
use IEEE.STD_LOGIC_1164.ALL;
use IEEE.STD_LOGIC_ARITH.ALL;
use IEEE.STD_LOGIC_UNSIGNED.ALL;

entity ssg3 is
Port ( bcd : in STD_LOGIC_VECTOR (3 downto 0);
seg1 : out STD_LOGIC_VECTOR (7 downto 0);
x : out STD_LOGIC_VECTOR (3 downto 0));
end ssg3;

architecture Behavioral of ssg3 is

begin
process(bcd)

begin
x<= "1110";


case bcd is
when "0000" => seg1 <= "11111100";
when "0001" => seg1 <= "01100000";
when "0010" => seg1 <= "11011010";
when "0011" => seg1 <= "11110010";

when "0100" => seg1 <= "01100110";
when "0101" => seg1 <= "10110110";
when "0110" => seg1 <= "10111110";
when "0111" => seg1 <= "11100000";
when "1000" => seg1 <= "11111110";
when "1001" => seg1 <= "11110110";
when "1010" => seg1 <= "11101110";
when "1011" => seg1 <= "00111110";
when "1100" => seg1 <= "10011100";
when "1101" => seg1 <= "01111010";
when "1110" => seg1 <= "10011110";
when "1111" => seg1 <= "10001110";
when others => seg1 <= "--------";

end case;
end process;
end Behavioral;

here 'x' is for selecting segment only, because i have four segments
in my kit.
If i implement this code on the FPGA i am getting display when ever i
give bcd inputs externally. I am not getting continuous display. I
tried to put loop for continuous display, but i am not succeeded. Can
you please tell me the procedure to continous display on sevensegment
from "0 to F".

I also tried in the following way but i didn't get continuous
display.

library IEEE;
use IEEE.STD_LOGIC_1164.ALL;
use IEEE.STD_LOGIC_ARITH.ALL;
use IEEE.STD_LOGIC_UNSIGNED.ALL;

entity ssg4 is
Port ( clk : in std_logic;
seg1 : out STD_LOGIC_VECTOR (7 downto 0);
x : out STD_LOGIC_VECTOR (3 downto 0));
end ssg4;

architecture Behavioral of ssg4 is



signal bcd : std_logic_vector( 3 downto 0);


begin
process(clk,bcd)

begin
if clk'event and clk ='1' then
bcd <= bcd+1;
x <= "1110";

case bcd is
when "0000" => seg1 <= "11111100";
when "0001" => seg1 <= "01100000";
when "0010" => seg1 <= "11011010";
when "0011" => seg1 <= "11110010";
when "0100" =>
seg1 <= "01100110";
when "0101" => seg1 <= "10110110";
when "0110" => seg1 <= "10111110";
when "0111" => seg1 <= "11100000";
when "1000" => seg1 <= "11111110";
when "1001" => seg1 <= "11110110";
when "1010" => seg1 <= "11101110";
when "1011" => seg1 <= "00111110";
when "1100" =>
seg1 <= "10011100";
when "1101" => seg1 <= "01111010";
when "1110" => seg1 <= "10011110";
when "1111" => seg1 <= "10001110";
when others => seg1 <= "--------";
end case;
end if;
end process;
end Behavioral;


Please give me the way i can produce the continuous display on seven
segment.
I am waiting for your response.

Have you tried just displaying a single constant value in one element
of the displays. After you learn that, then you are ready for more.
There is lots of misunderstandings that could make the problem not
work. Try small experiments and build up to what you need it to do.

Good luck,
Jim

-----------------------------------------

U may be messing up with the refresh rate of the displays.


Check that out !!
