The binding indication is the second part of the configuration
specification. It identifies the entity to bind with the component and
also maps the two interfaces together. That is, a binding
indication associates component instances with a particular design
entity. A particular architecture of the entity can also be selected
at this time. The binding indication may include a PORT MAP and
GENERIC MAP to adapt the interfaces of the entity and the component.
An alternate method of binding components is to use a configuration
declaration. This is a separate library that specifies the
configuration data for an architecture. This method is mainly used
for large scale design and will not be discussed in this presentation.
