generic circuit for read data from n files

[Matheus Arleson]

hello,

I'm currently working on a component that has the following behavior:

1) control component:

ENTITY CONTROL IS

GENERIC (FILE_NUMBER: NATURAL: = 10);

PORT (FINISHED: IN STD_LOGIC_VECTOR ((FILE_NUMBER - 1) downto 0);
CLK: IN std_logic;
RST: IN std_logic;
ENABLE: OUT STD_LOGIC_VECTOR ((FILE_NUMBER - 1) downto 0));

END CONTROL;

1.1 - Has the function of signaling which file must be read. It
indicates that through a bit of door ENABLE.
1.2 - when the file finished being read, it indicates through a bit of
door FINISHED.
1.3 - The control then passes to another file and repeat 1 and 2 until
no more files to be read.
-------------------------

2) component of the reading of files

ENTITY IS ARQ_MOD

GENERIC (DATA_SIZE: NATURAL: = 16);

PORT (ENABLE: IN std_logic;
FINISHED: OUT std_logic;
OUTPUT_DATA: OUT STD_LOGIC_VECTOR ((DATA_SIZE - 1) downto 0));
ARQ_MOD END;

1.1 - Has the function to open a file when the door ENABLE = '1 '.
1.2 - Read the file until the end.
1.3 - FINISHED = '1 '. indicates that the file over.
1.4 - OUTPUT_DATA = 'Z'. because the modules file are all connected to
a bus.
--------------------------------

need help on the following issues:

* A plan to use a control unit and connect a number N of modules file
to this control unit, for example using a LOOP GENERATE. the output of
them was connected to a single bus. When ENABLE = '0 '-> OUTPUT_DATA
=' Z ', then only the module in use has possession of the bus.
* I would like to know how to pass the path of the file to file_open
dynamically.
* also, i need some ideas of implementation....


here is the idea of ​​the circuit.

ARQ_MOD probably needs a CLK input so you can sequence through the input
file and output data on OUTPUT_DATA one DATA_SIZE chunk per clock cycle.
You may also want a DATA_VALID output to indicate that there is valid
data on OUTPUT_DATA on any given clock cycle.

You can pass the name of the file to be read to ARQ_MOD via a "string"
port type. You may also need to pass string length via a "natural" port
type to indicate the number of valid characters in the string. Or,
always pass a string with trailing blanks and have ARQ_MOD search for a
trailing blank to determine the length of the string.
