Hello All,

I want to change the generic parameters i.e. width of address and data at the run time.
just for explaining purpose I am posting few lines -

if master_select = '1' and slave_select = '1' then
MAX_ADDR_WIDTH <= 7;
MAX_DATA_WIDTH <= 28;
else
MAX_ADDR_WIDTH <= 10;
MAX_DATA_WIDTH <= 32;
end if;

MAX_ADDR_WIDTH and MAX_DATA_WIDTH are the generics , I know I cannot do like this..
Does anyone have any solution to this problem.

Thanx in advance ..

Your question suggests ignorance of elementary logic hardware principles. Changing generics at runtime is like converting your compact car into a van and vice versa by pushing a button.

The solution is however simple, provide the necessary hardware for the maximum required address and data width and utilize it according to the current need.
