Summary
Mode conflict associating actual 'name' with formal 'name'.
Description
The Compiler has determined that the mode (direction) of the actual parameter indicated is not compatible with the mode of the formal parameter.
For example, you cannot connect an actual that is itself an out port, to a formal that is an inout port.
Recommendation
Check to make sure that the mode specified in the component declaration is compatible with the mode of the actual parameter.
Check to make sure the mode on the component declaration is the same as the mode on its entity port declaration.
Also check to make sure you have associated the actual parameters to formal parameters as expected. A mode conflict is actually an electrical rules check and usually indicates a design error. It is often possible to work around this error using a temporary signal as the actual.
