info regarding digital low pass fir filter design in VHDL...

[dhaanya nair]

hello...
As part of my final year project, iam working on digital low pass
FIR filter design in VHDL.
I have written the code for the filter design in VHDL.but, I have some
problem in debugging it.
I will be very thankful if you can debug it and send me back..
I worked on ALTERA MAX+PLUSII.
thanku...
Here,iam sending the code...
