I come across one more difficulty while instantiate the fifo code to my top module. I want to store some set of data say "WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF FPGA" from my serial port ( receiving subsystem) then i want to retrieve it back say when button on fpga board is pressed or FIFO is full. I have my fifo code and serial communication code written. Idea is data sent from keyboard ->receiving subsystem -> FIFO -> transmitting subsystem -> hyperterminal. I am at present using fifo of 8 bit wide and say 28 deep just to store some small data. Please help me in this regard how can I implement it.I have byte coming from receiver saved in register_save. fifo code
inst_bit8_recieve_unit : entity work.byte_recieve_8N1
port map ( ck => ck,
reset => reset,
new_byte_in_buffer => new_byte_in_buffer,
byte_read_from_buffer => byte_read_from_buffer,
recieve_buffer => register_save,
JA_2 => JA(2));

Just added the corrected code now which seems to be working. Problem araises when increase the depth of fifo. When depth>2 then every third byte is missing. Please help, why I am loosing data.
