So I'm currently writing VHDL code for a 7-segment display that will display (0-F) once each second. I have almost everything done, the only thing I'm stuck on is the controller.
I need to have 4 buttons, the first starts the counter, the second stops it, the third increments it by one, and the last one resets it back to 0 (I already have the last one done, I just need the first three)
Here is my overall code (Note that Problem 2 component is my counter):
entity SSD is
port (
seg : out std_logic_vector (6 downto 0);
an3 : out std_logic;
btn1, btn2, btn3, btn4 : in std_logic;
clk : in std_logic);
end SSD;
architecture Behavioral of SSD is
component hex7seg is
port (
x : in std_logic_vector (3 downto 0);
a_to_g : out std_logic_vector (6 downto 0));
end component;
component Problem2 is
port (
clr : in std_logic;
ce : in std_logic;
clk : in std_logic;
b : out std_logic_vector (3 downto 0);
tc : out std_logic);
end component;
component clkdiv is
port (
rst : in std_logic;
clk : in std_logic;
clkout : out std_logic);
end component;
component controller is
port (
start : in std_logic;
stop : in std_logic;
inc : in std_logic;
rst : in std_logic;
clk : in std_logic;
run : out std_logic);
end component;
signal b : std_logic_vector(3 downto 0);
signal run : std_logic;
signal clk_1sec : std_logic;
signal tc : std_logic;
begin
U1: hex7seg port map (x => b, a_to_g => seg);
U2: Problem2 port map (clr=>btn4, ce=>run, clk=>clk_1sec, b=>b, tc=>tc);
U3: controller port map (start => btn1, stop => btn2, inc => btn3, rst => btn4, clk => clk_1sec, run => run);
U4: clkdiv port map (rst => btn4, clk => clk, clkout => clk_1sec);
an3 <= '0';
end Behavioral;
Here is what I have so far for the controller code:
entity controller is
Port ( start : in STD_LOGIC;
stop : in STD_LOGIC;
inc : in STD_LOGIC;
rst : in STD_LOGIC;
clk : in STD_LOGIC;
run : out STD_LOGIC);
end controller;
architecture Behavioral of controller is
begin
run <= '1';
end Behavioral;
I'm not really sure where to go from there to get the other 3 buttons working, any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.

register. Then on positive edge of clock you look if the pause register is set, and choose to increment or stay the same based on that. You can clear the pause register when the resume button is pressed. Hope that gives you some idea of what to go on. \$\endgroup\$
