First attempt with MyHDL

1

In a first attempt to use MyHDL I converted some VHDL lines to MyHDL. I tried to do this as good as possible. Because I want to use MyHDL for building reference models and use them in a VHDL testbench, I tried to convert the Python lines to VHDL. I got some error message which I can not get solved. I probably made some stupid (beginners) errors. Can someone tell me what is wrong with my code?

def cropper(ip_rst, ip_clk, I2F_image_to_cropper, I2F_image_from_cropper, I2F_wait_to_cropper, I2F_wait_from_cropper, Cropperprm, ResetError):

To avoid the header fifo being read before the first header word has rippled through

an extra register delay is added in the cropper processing pipe (Header fifo ripple requires 3 clocks)

After a lot of changes I managed to convert my first MyHDL code to VHDL. My code contained a lot of errors. Still a lot to learn!
