basic questions

Here is a basic question,what is 'generic map'?

another question:what kind of books should I read to get these silly questions clear?You know what?The worst part to learn ISE or HDL is the lack of relative books!Do you have any suggestions?

PS:I wanna some books to systematicaly learn these things!

A quick search for "VHDL book" in these forums turned up this among others:

http://www.scribd.com/doc/8445726/Vhdl-Primer-by-Bhaskar

You might also search for "VHDL tutorials"

Without knowing how much VHDL you already know, I don't want to try to

explain "generic map."

Generic Map is used to pass the values to the entity.

You should refer VHDL Programming by Douglas Perry to understand VHDL Language(Digital Electronics background is strongly recommended).

I own and like "The Designer's Guide to VHDL" by Dr. Peter J. Ashenden, now in its 3rd edition. It is structured in the form of a course, with exercises at the end of each chapter, but also works well as a reference. 'Generic map' is covered in chapter 12. There used to be a PDF of the 1st edition available on the Interwebs, and perhaps still is...
