Mutually exclusive

[ALuPin]

Hi VHDL folks,

I get the info warning
"Info, conditions are mutually exclusive; resolve without priority."


when compiling the following process:


process(Reset, Clk)
begin
if Reset='1' then
l_speed <= '0';

elsif rising_edge(Clk) then

if Rx_data(3 downto 0)="0100" then
l_speed <= '0';
elsif Rx_data(3 downto 0)="1010" then
l_speed <= '1';
else
l_speed <= l_speed;
end if;
end if;
end process;

What does the info warning mean?

Thank you for your help.

Hi ALuPin,

Probably, the compiler wants you to use mux (using case statement, as the
conditions are mutually exclusive) instead of priority encoder.

Cheers,

Hi VHDL folks,

What does the info warning mean?

It means that since the if, elsif, and else
cases don't overlap, this is a logical
classification rather than a prioritization.
This might better be labelled "information" rather
than "warning".
