I am facing an error with my VHDL code. I am using ModelSim software for it.

I am new in it. There are similar questions posted but that were not solve my problem. Actual issue in port map. I assigned a signals for intermediate wires but it is still showing unknown formal identifier. That's why I am here.

Most of the instantiations have the mappings the wrong way around. The component ports should be on the LHS with the signal you are mapping to on the RHS.
