one shot process

[thomas]

Hi Ng
I am trying to make a process that waits for a signal, then runs a
loop, and then again waits for the start signal

is there a good way of doing this, or is it just something like this

process
variable i : natural range 0 to 7;
begin -- process
wait on start_me_up;
for i in 0 to 7 loop
-- do something here
end loop; -- i
end process;

Is fine. You could be a bit shorter with

process(start_me_up)
begin
...
end
