I encountered a problem when trying to connect a component to two output ports of parent hierarchy in
VHDL. Since the physical connection can be done only via "port map" statement, there is no way to

Wouldn't it be better to have just one OUT port and connect OUT to both ports where OUT1 and OUT2 are
connected to? simon Aug 28 '12 at 7:10 [VHDL]Using signal to drive output ports,why are

Is there a reason why you cannot create an internal signal and use that signal to drive the two output
