Error: (vsim -3389), - verilog

Question

I don't understand why I'm getting this error when using model-sim, I've tried a lot of fixes but don't seem to get around this.
This is what my modelsim transcript says:
** Error: (vsim-3389) C:/Users/VRN/Desktop/sha256/t_processing.v(31): Port 'a_in' not found in the connected module (5th connection).

Answer 1

Here's a list of the input/output ports you've defined in the interactive_processing module.
input wire clk,
input wire rst,
input wire padding_done;
input wire [6:0] counter_iteration;
input wire [31:0] w,
input wire [31:0] k,
output reg [31:0] a_out,
output reg [31:0] b_out,
output reg [31:0] c_out,
output reg [31:0] d_out,
output reg [31:0] e_out,
output reg [31:0] f_out,
output reg [31:0] g_out,
output reg [31:0] h_out
Here's the list of inputs and outputs you're trying to pass to the interactive_processing module.
.clk(clk),
.rst(rst),
.w(w),
.k(k),
.a_in(a_in),
.b_in(b_in),
.c_in(c_in),
.d_in(d_in),
.e_in(e_in),
.f_in(f_in),
.g_in(g_in),
.h_in(h_in),
.a_out(a_out),
.b_out(b_out),
.c_out(c_out),
.d_out(d_out),
.e_out(e_out),
.f_out(f_out),
.g_out(g_out),
.h_out(h_out)
The compiler has no idea what to do with a__in through h__in because you haven't defined them as inputs to the module.
