How to use Microblaze Master I2C bus with another VHDL component declared outside microblaze?

[bivin]

Hi

I want to use Microblaze Master I2C and another I2C declared outside micorblaze using a switch. For example consider I2c_microblaze_sda come as microblaze output and I2c_vhdl_sda is another signal defined using vhdl .

Consider i2c_sda is signal connected to pin of fpga.Now i need to switch between them using a signal i2c_sel as per given below (outside main vhdl process).

i2c_sda <= I2c_microblaze_sda when i2c_sel = '1' else I2c_vhdl_sda;

When above code is used , it is giving placement error that microblaze sda signal cannot be placed. i2c_sel signal is given different values within main process ( value changes depending on state diagram).

How to implement the same.

Hi @bivin

Your both signals(I2c_microblaze_sda & I2c_vhdl_sda) are inout signals, am I right? Use IOBUF and try to mux the input and output signals seperately.
